“We think first flights for the 7 will be this year and probably for the 10 next year.”

In context

“e 7 and the 10, I think you agreed to backfit some software changes on the existing MAX fleet. Could you tell us how much that's likely to cost? When did you take the accounting impact? Thanks. Dave Calhoun: I'll take the last part of that to get that off the table. The provision to retrofit the fleet was taken in the fourth quarter. That's behind us. It was small. And there's a reason why it's small. But I just -- I hope everybody knows and understands how important it was to get those extensions in place in the legislation.

So we're just going to progress. And like always, we're not going to tell you exact dates as to when we expect those certifications. So all feels good. And then yes, the legislation that was approved included some improvements that we put into our cockpit on the DASH 10 that everybody agrees are useful and helpful to pilots. And those largely software adjustments will be incorporated into the entire MAX fleet over several years.
