Announcing first 787-9 will serve BOS starting in October with subsequent near-term 787-9s serving IAD, EWR and JFK. See this article:

I know that several VS pilots will be returning from their training at Norwegian Long Haul on the 787, but I hope this leads to some in the pool being called up.
I presume most newhires will be heading to the A330. Are all early 787-9 pilots being pulled from the A340/330 or will some be sourced from the 400 as well?
