I've been hearing about the 777x for so long that I just assumed it was flying already. It's just crazy that nearly 7 years later, it's still not ready.
It's good that Boeing is taking its time instead of rushing out a flawed product. But between the 777x, the 737 Max, the quality issues of 787, and the embarrassment that is the Starliner against SpaceX Dragon, Boeing's engineering is rotten to the core it seems.

Metal off to the canned goods factory already.
