Or it's just confirmation bias and it's not just a 787 thing at all
Or could just be as simple as the jetbridge being frozen and there's only so many gates that can fit the bigger frames, but I'm really just spitballing. I only started getting back into aviation in the last year or so, so my knowledge is limited. Someone like acey or speede would need to chime in
edit: unfortunate side note though, looks like that honolulu flight went right back to the gate.
