It was not planning of any sort.
The decision to take delivery of the second B787 that day, was only taken a few weeks before, originally due in the new year.
The Vienna flight should have been on the first a/c as was all the other flights, however as the first a/c had been tech since that Wednesday and did not become serviceable until later on Saturday, this did not happen.
With references to the B777, Boeing keeps on saying that the B787 entering service has been smother than the B777 introduction.
I can see why they use that a/c now as goal to beat, not much of a goal is it?
