Very unlikely: GF have no 777 on order so it would be pointless to train their own pilots on 777 (taking them from Airbus fleet), use them for 3 years and retrain them back to the Bus...
Airlines throughout the world today have a single major concern: costs.
So DECs will be recruited and Jet skippers will be offered a contract, as they will be readily available, trained and current on the aircraft.
