I've heard from a friend of mine in the states also that there was a 787 tech course run not so long ago with a couple of aussie guys from same said organization.
Nice windup there. CASA will never let you have heavy jets on a AOC with a bunch of checkers with no jet experience, and no Boeing experience.
If that was to happen you would have import a bunch of check captains with heavy Boeing experience and a whole bunch of DE captains with Heavy Boeing jet experience.
Yes it could happen but none of the current crew will be flying it thats for sure.
787s will be on the mainline AOC, or Jetstar and they will then be advertising for DE Boeing experienced guys.
