Oh I'm not worried about Pilot recruitment. Now that things are official they'll have a ton of joiners Lining up to fly them.
It really helps to have Shiney new things to dangle in front of new recruits.
I'd have preferred the Saab but that doesn't matter any more. The f-35 will draw pilots. Perhaps the bigger co cern might be recruiting and training techs to keep them airborne.
