So they need at least two 787-8 planes based at LAX to do this route daily in rotation.

So have other routes from LAX using the 787-8 been announced that would use the same planes during that 23 hour wait?
My first guess would be LAX-GRU. You'd only need 3 787s to do both RT flights in a 24-hr cycle.
