Well yes - a year or so back I saw a CNN video about the 787 where Boeing gave him a ball peen hammer and a piece of carbon fibre fuselage and said "have at it".
In hindsight they'd have been better served giving him a battery and ball peen hammer
During my 777 type rating course in Gatwick several years ago a group of Boeing pilots were finishing up the fidelity checks on the 787 sim. They told me there were some serious issues with the 787 but when they were resolved the aircraft would be awesome. No idea whether they meant the batteries - probably not. A few days later I flew the 787 sim and, battery issues aside, it's a VERY impressive aircraft. Assuming you've flown another wide body Boeing first it will be the easiest type conversion of your career. Like all Boeings everything just seems right...intuitive...you don't sit there thinking 'WTF did they do THAT?!'
Well at least until you get to the electrical system
