As I read the latest BA fleet bid results about 30 FOs will be leaving the 767 for other things. Although the fleet will slowly decline in number I don't think it is that quick as there are 21 B-767s and about 150 FO's on type. These places cannot be filled by cadets due to ETOPS experience rules. Where will the replacements come from????
All in my opinion and happy to be corrected.
Regards
A very good point.
Edited to say that those 767's pilots that have bid off won't be released to their new courses if they're needed on the 767. BA won't recruit if there's any surplus in the company (which there is now).
