At the moment, AA has 23 787-8s in its fleet. Of these, four are stored including one of the new 787-8s.
Two of the new 787-8s are currently active. They may rotate off and on from cargo-only flights. Statistically, you've got a 10.5% chance of flying one of the new 787-8s assuming no more 787-8s are stored or brought out of storage, but that's highly likely going to change next month.
