    Subliminal message?

  • Luke

    @Larry: haha yeah what is that? never noticed it before!

  • Ivan Majetic

    Thank you guys for this great piece of work. Greetings from Croatia!

  • Tomas A Muñoz

    Just a friendly reminder, a Project Schedule is “official” once the stakeholders in the project have bought into it. In this case, the Stakeholders are you, AOA, and your CLIENTS, who foot the bill and pay your salaries. SO, when do we see the schedule?

  • Tomas A Muñoz

    Chris, I actually have now read all these 737 NGX Update threads. WOW, and I thought I was outspoken…
    It would be easy for me to say, “I told you so”. So you finally have a Project Manager. Hurrah.
    NICK’s leaving is a SHAME. IMHO, you are loosing your best asset. I realize he has to move on with his life, but his role should be more than just “Advisor”. Again, a shame.
    Lastly, why don’t you clean out the comments below the Updates.
    Most don’t have any meaning now.

    Best regards for the future, under PM control!!!

  • Bruce

    I’m not a fan of heavies but I was saddened at hearing of Nicks departure. I wish him all the luck with his future aviation endevours. Certainly as asset we will ALL miss. Thanks for all your work Nick

  • Chris Palmer

    Tomas, I’m not giving you the schedule. The people that actually work on the project get to buy in, not the customers. We want to be able to make sure we’re tweaking where needed, if needed. We don’t need to answer to our customers for every business decision. Just the way it is. We’ll get it produced, rest assured.

  • Chris Palmer

    To clarify, we will have a schedule eventually. But we do not require buy in from our customers.

  • Chris Palmer

    Bruce, we hate to see him go. He won’t be gone by any means, but his role is going to change and he can’t be relied on for NGX stuff, because of his schedule. It would be detrimental to our project.

  • Zoltan Papp-Vid

    There are many good and new knowledge to find here.

  • Tomas A Muñoz

    It all a question of Project Management, the role and rights of StakeHolders and business practice. Its your choice, as always. Much to learn still.

  • Chris Palmer

    Tomas, if I was answering to shareholders, it’s one thing. Even then, do you think people like the likes of Apple tell people when they’re going to release their next product, or how things are going with the latest iPad and iPhone creation? It’s simply unrealistic. I’m keeping you guys up to date, you don’t need to see our schedule.

  • Muli

    Apple don’t update their like about their plans and schedules but sales department updates purchasers about supplying date of their purchase.

  • Chris Palmer

    This subject is put to rest. We aren’t showing you guys our production schedule until we can actually stick to it. One of our goals is to release a section on X day each week, but we need to make sure our methods are working first, otherwise you guys will get on us about that too. No internal schedules will be released. End of conversation.

  • Larry Gregory

    Thomas
    I don’t think we are going to see any schedules released.

  • Chris Palmer

    Eventually we’ll be on a public schedule. But it’s not something we’re going to run by anyone outside our team. Otherwise, the ‘stakeholders’ have blind control of a schedule they know nothing about.
