The code on the Expertflyer is "OPEN", which means "operational but not eligible for compensation". And I'm almost certain the correct answer is "we're short of aircraft, we've got multiple 787s in the workshop, we can shift everyone on to other services, and if forced we will pay EC261 - eventually".
