Boeing is quoting 97% dispatch reliability - which isn't great but also isn't horrible for a new airplane (I remember one operator at 80% for the 747-400 a year after EIS ). I'm no longer hearing the claim that the 787 is better than the 777 was at the same point after EIS so I'm guessing it's not .

Problem areas appear to be electrical power and APU.
