Just a matter of time before they(WY) go widebody again. GF's B763s need being replaced/refurbished. Either way, they will have a good market value in the market. Great machines.

Thats a bit below the belt Mr Wright, give the new F/O's a chance, in time they will find their way to Tagala land, where every body is happy.
Be nice
BP

before they were FO's they could smell Manila from miles away in their shitty old Honda civics. Won't be hard for them to find manila at all. Only hard to find their way back.

I remember they used to have A310's. Short lived though.

The 767 is an uncomfortable aircraft for long haul operations, unless it is fitted out in low density seating.

Brunei's J cabin is quite nice on the 763.

heard that if WY going to operate B767 they will be on a wet leas for 2yrs ,
probably the current 1st officers in 737 fleet will move to the B767 in 2 yrs time n will leave their captains to fly to the indain subcontinent.
