It is looking grim in general for QF 767 drivers, captains in particular after the latest Flight crew briefings.

Most of the commands on the J* A330's that will return to mainline will be allocated to A list pilots, leaving 767 captains with the option of taking a backward step to the 737 or a bigger backwards step by taking a demotion.

The line being spun by management regarding the 787 is classic wedge politics.

"No 787 if flown at A330 rates"! is the mantra.

So what does AIPA do? Bid for the 787 on 767 rates thereby lowering the relativity's in place? Or does it stick to its guns and demand the logical A330 rate?

Given that the 787 is unlikely to be flown by mainline anyway then AIPA will be blamed by management and some naive pilots for when it goes elsewhere.
