Doors -I asked / mentioned that (permalink #8) but got no response

Given that our 777's were delivered with that alerting function and even our 744's were retrofitted no doubt as part of some software upgrade I'd be mighty surprised if it didn't come as standard out of the box on the 787.
Can't remember exactly how long you have to wait until the EICAS alert is triggered but it is under 30 minutes, and for those that don't know, if the visual alert is ignored it can start to get
very noisy very quickly.....
