It's still showing as a 787 at this time, but I'm not holding my breath!
I was scheduled to be on that IAH-DEN flight (just to try the 787).

It went mechanical because of a "computer issue" from the time I was at the gate (about 630 am). A little after 8am, the gate agent announced they couldn't resolve the issue, and that a 767 would be swapped in (and they were trying to locate a crew). I think the flight finally went out around 11am (I did a trip-in-vain refund and bailed).

Did you make it on to a 787, or get swapped as well?
