The status at the top of this thread shows only 1 787-8 is currently being fitted with CS, what about the rest?
Once the first is certified, then the next ones will follow. I saw the plan of embodiements, but since it was marked as confidential I shan't be sharing it; I'll just say that it should take approx. 1 year / 16 months to do the whole lot. Then 787-9s in 2025-26, and 380s in 2026-27.

Correct. Boeing has provided ample evidence that they shouldn't be trusted.
