About the B767, if they’re getting more of them, it’s completely new for me, since they’re for long now to be phased out. What are about to join the fleet are 2 two used A321’s and two more brand new A320’s in one year from now.
In the recent past, you for sure, would join straight to B767 since you are rated but I don’t believe it’s going to happen again because slowly all the Boeing drivers are being transferred to the Airbus A320 / A330 / A340, according to their seniority.
Be prepared to sign a training bond to Airbus for three years for a generous amount of money, something around +20K BHD for a non-type rated.
There are the possibility for more airplanes to join the fleet from 2010 (can be any, but the preference lies over the B787) and, believe me, some kids are already fighting for who is going to fly them first!!!

Cheers!
