There is a lack of B787 pilots in Vietnam. Therefore the company is recruiting ex Singapore Airline pilots from Singapore and from Europe. There is a bunch of ex Norwegian pilots on the market as well. You will see most of the 787 pilots being expats. The questions is if Bamboo are able to recruit enough pilots to 11 aircrafts without offering commuting contracts. Airline starts to hire world wide and there will be a shortage of 787 pilots. Trust me!

I would say this is a great news, most people like non stop fly, save time but not sure about the cost. Safety would be the number 1 concern on any passenger mind, with the crew of all Vietnamese Pilots, do they have enough experience to fly Boeing 787. I discussed among our friends and we all agreed that this is a great way to travel to Vietnam but we may have to wait for a few years and continue to fly with EVA or China Airline for Safety reason.

I would pay non stop routes to Vietnam with double ticket prices from LA, SF or Seattle

You just proved my point... replace my original statement of $1,100 rt with sub-$500 thru China. China subsidizes it's airlines so they can offer those fares. Vietnam would have to more than match the subsidies China provides, and then we're back at Ben's point where Vietnam Airlines acknowledges they'd lose money operating the routes to the USA, which hints that Vietnam Gov doesn't want to compete with subsidies. So back to my original points, 1. Bamboo can't compete with fares, and 2. It can't operate non-stop, so there's no competitive advantage and no point flying to Texas.
