Seeing as how they offered the service back in May and were taking delivery of 787s this fall, one would expect 6 months to be enough time to get them ready. (That said, I made my booking fully anticipating them NOT being ready, and haven't made my WAS-DEN positioning flight booking yet for exactly that reason.)
