Supposedly loss of 0 767 commands this calendar year. Flying program static. Depends a bit on whether they get rid of all the Rollers or whether they keep 3-4. They've requested approval from CASA to fly up to 4 on the J curve without ADSB but that's supposedly as a stop gap just in case. IE no intention of actually doing that, just hedging bets. 767 Fleet is currently flying hours as though 6 of those 767s are already gone, just spreading the love around more airframes.

An A330 possibly returning from J* to domestic in March instead of October- additional training slots this year to be promulgated if that occurs. If not, 4 A330s to arrive in the next training year (about 28 Commands of which about 20 are going to be A list). 20 residual 737 slots as a result if those A slots get taken up. Remaining A330 commands probably to come from 767 fleet thus keeping the 767 establishment numbers close to spot on. Some 767 Captains will jump for those 737 residuals as well thus keeping 767 numbers close to the money.

737 Fleet to expand by 4-5 airframes I think. Another 20 captains there. 40 737 commands in the next training year sounds about right!

Jetstar training? If there are MoU slots expect QF drivers to bid for them IAW the MoU.
