The issue I'm thinking about is the kind offer of BASSA to let the WW 767 go to Eurofleet. Why? Because WW crew hate the 767 trips, there is no bunk for them to rest in, and they are usually some of the lowest paying trips.



The 767 trips are not hated by the majority of crew who work on it they in fact much prefer it, especially going to the east coast of the states, which it mainly goes. In fact the most crew enjoy it. Granted there is a perception with crews who don't fly the 767 you get less days off but there are less trips that generate two days off than the 777.

As for being paid less for the trips, this is also not true, the majority of trips pay the same, if not more as many of the 777/ 747 trips excluding the long range trips. There are more trips on the worldwide fleet that are none long range than long range

As for in flight rest well some of the days are long and not a bunk in sight, the same can be said for a lot of the 777's we fly on.

The proposal from BASSA to have Eurofleet to do the 767 work was to protect the CSD rank on Eurofleet it also gave other crew on Eurofleet a bit of long haul if they wanted it.
