Having an all Boeing fleet makes little difference what so ever to maintenance. The 787 and 777 are different aircraft, different parts etc.

When it comes to crewing yes, may make a difference in that the 777 and 787 share a common rating. Though again if you have sufficient enough of each type the difference is minor.
