United LHR

Since United have purchased the ex-BMI engineering hangar at LHR and poached a bunch of engineers from a local carrier there with 30% pay increases, is there any truth in the rumour they may be opening an actual aircraft base there? How would they crew that base - reverse trips using existing pilots or local recruitment?

I'm going to guess it sure won't be local pilot recruitment.

And as an ancillary question, if they've recruited local maintenance people, do those people have FAA licenses to allow them to work on N-registered airplanes ? I'm not sure how that works.

Not sure about the engineering licences. They definitely took a load of local eng's though!
