Not really. They choose the 787 gold service package by Boeing because it offered the cheapest MRO service for the first launch customers. Now they are quickly learning that an aircraft manufacturer doesn't have the expertise to do line maintenance. Sadly they also got two of the really bad lemons from the 787 line which amplifies the learning curve Boeing is going thru offering their new service.
