Yes, I read a similar source today, maybe on A-net or pprune - I can't remeber which. Second half of April, it will fly when they're happy to. I'll put a fiver on Wednesday. Don't know why...

The wale will fly next week. The crew will consist of six people, among them testpilots Claude Lelaie and Jacques Rosay...both well known in the industrie.

Surprising that - one being Airbus Chief test pilot and the other being Airbus chief exec (I think). Shame that the flight crew represents all the nations of the project bar one...
