Don't think they are going to be hiring U.S. pilots. Pay for the U.S. based 787 pilots, all 20 of them, was significantly lower than the pay for the European based pilots, who were almost all unionized. The only pilots who were not unionized were the LGW based pilots who were on their initial 3 year contract. After their contract was renewed, they joined BALPA. All the other Europe based pilots were unionized from the start.
