Our version of the 787 will be flying soon. It is quite a bit different airplane. Different wing box, different tail, different electrics, different fuselage join and something like 20% better economics per seat than the -8. Boeing needs to get the dispatch reliability up to at least 99.7% and figure out how to get more than .8 airplanes per month out of their anti-labor plant down in Charleston.
