Very familiar - I was a 767 FO at the time of the original promises made by the company - all turned out to be lies and half truths.
You’re getting your timelines mixed up.
Jetstar was alive and kicking when the 787 order was touted as being 50+ options - the first 11 or so going to Jetstar and the rest to QF. Not a 767 replacement though...just growth we promise....
We agreed to the conditions proposed as it was to be THE growth aircraft, offering promotions and the extra pay associated. Sound familiar?
Those haven’t eventuated - yet? Ever?
Im glad you’re off the Dash now and being rewarded appropriately for your time and skills- let’s not throw away decades of hard FOUGHT for conditions because it’s better than what you had previously.
I’m going to bow out of this “back and forth” - differences in opinion are good and healthy for the debate.
Safe flying.
