giving 15 commands away on the 767 fleet has not disadvantaged BA F/O's. Can someone explain that to me please, as many F/O's do not understand it either.
There have been a couple of people who have questioned 767 course cancellation but these have been cancelled prior to any decision being made as a normal Cassandra run. Certainly nothing unusual there.
The 767 is a "dying" fleet and will most likely be gone in four years or so. At some point in the near future, this will be officially declared at which point those pilots who are on it will be forced to stay on it until it retires, with the route structure moving from longhaul to shorthaul. As the longhaul hulls are reduced and shorthaul hulls retained, the basic pay will reduce steadily towards shorthaul pay.

Horses for courses, I suppose but I'm not sure I'd want to move to that fleet myself.
