Clarification please

So, let me make sure I understand this situation.

Is the article saying that Jetstar Asia pilots (i.e., those based and living in Singapore) will be trained on and fly the first 3 787s? Does it imply that all 15 original 787 orders for Jetstar will eventually be based and flown out of Singapore? How many are expected to be flown by Aussie pilots out of Melbourne/Sydney?

The article claims that more 787s will be added in Singapore over time - does that mean that the current dedicated A330s used out of Singapore will be transferred down to Australia and used from there (with Aussie pilots)? Confusing!!!! Are the current A330s flown out of Singapore flown by Aussie Jetstar pilots or flown by Singapore-based pilots? Will Aussie Jetstar pilots gain more A330 flying seats as a result?

I realise it is confusing and probably not set in stone. Thanks for any clarification.
