the numbers are inflated and misleading. It would take you 20 years to get near halffull's position ,and it is more than unsure that the conditions will then still be the same ( given the constant erosion of our conditions of service). Also he forgot to tell you, that on all the other fleets you are nowhere near 18 off days, it is more likely to be around 10-12/ month. Also many 400 pilots do fly quite a lot of freight now, which messes up the roster completely.Only the very senior 400 captains do fly mostly long haul pax, but this is for sure a thing of the past. Most probably CX will end up with a pure -400 freighter fleet within the next 5 years anyway, the roster will then be quite unpleasant. Pax service will be 330/350 and 777,so basically always mixed ops with more working days and much less off days.
