PHL Maintenance Revenge on Dallas Cowboys (and widebody maintenance question)

This past Sunday (Dec 22, 2019) - The Dallas Cowboy's chartered an AA 772. Looks like it ended up having some maintence issues, stranding the team for a few hours (unclear if it was a crew timeout issue or a mechanical issue)

But got me thinking, starting in Jan, PHL is scheduled to get a 788 for a daily DFW, ORD and MAN. Curious to see if the PHL maintenance crew is ready to service these Boeing widebodies - as well as expanding the crewbase to staff the multiple 788 flights. I know Legacy US has some 767s based in PHL, and those crews are cross-rated onto the 757s. But 787 is a completely new rating type.
