I can't see how they wouldn't, the T7 will most likely become the more senior fleet and there are no plans to mix fleet. There is a lot of growth on the 777 and several dozen 787's coming, and we still have this philosophy of segregating the airbus and boeing pilot groups. Add to that the 320s, 380s and eventual 350-1000's coming and the airbus side has it's own staffing issues. It wouldn't surprise me to see direct entry 787 pilots on both seats in the near future.
