These 3 pilots do actually exsit alright, all hold a FAA ATPL license.

My understand is that these pilots have had to go through the US to obtain their recurrent training. Thus as one may knows after the September 11 incident the US government has tightened its regulations in regards to pilot training in the US. These pilots can't lie about their background to European 2000 as there is a very stringent background check conducted by all these US govenment departments namely the DOJ, TSA and the FAA. Any small glitch in the background check the pilot will be refused to commence training and had to leave the US immediately.

Conversely, the bottom line to the truth of the story is that European 2000 lied about the company's perspective future to lure unsuspecting pilots and did not paid their pilots(wages and training and relocation expenses).

Do what I did call up European 2000 and find it out yourself
