767 were awesome aircraft, with an incredible record over a long time. Anyone who's ever flown one loved it, but it wasn't always the easiest aircraft to fly. Each of the three versions Pratts, GE and RR, behaved quite differently especially in the flare and no one could really explain why it landed the way it did...... it almost never could be landed smoothly and generally plonked down quite solidly...... there were three different techniques used for the three versions that we had. The Rollers were the most "consistent" and the -300 was way better than any -200. GE's were the best. Awesome aircraft in a crosswind too!
While this is all true, the 767‘s heydays are over. Airlines have for the most part moved on. As has been stated before, the 787/777 is certainly a better choice if you are fresh and have your career still ahead.
767 would be a great machine to retire on, though.
