It's amazing what supposedly proffesional pilots can degenerate a thread into here...
Alarmist attitudes aside, yes the corrosion likely should have been detected earlier, or was and was not dealt with correctly, however SR technics is now runing the show and has dealt with the issue appropriately.
The 767's are not an unsafe aircrfaft, and will likely be some of the best maintained in the fleet after coming out of these checks. In the meantime the 767 crew can catch upon their sleep and collect a paycheque while staying at home, not a bad deal. Yeah we lose 4-500 bd a month in allowances by not flying, but i'm not doing any work either, so it's fair enough i suppose.
The complete lack ofcoomunicaton and management has been the same for quite awhile, so no big suprises their. Maybe when Mr. Dosse arrives he'll be able to improve that side of it over the summer months.
In the meantime relax, let them fix the A/C up, and enjoy your time off. Your job will still be there at the end of the month if you still want it.
Not all of us want to come over and fly the Airbus. I'm quite happy on the Boeing and really have no interest in moving fleets at all, don't assume we all are wanting to bump senior 320 guys to get into that fleet.
Now....where was that beer and BBQ i had going..
