With 100+ conversions from Airbus and 75/76 fleets onto the 737 this winter alone the chances of recruitment onto the 756 fleet are zero. The growing 737 fleet will progressively take on more and more of the short/mid haul programme, and the 787 is replacing the 767. Some 757s will be retained to fly routes better suited to them than the 737, but there will be no recruitment needed for that. As for the 787, that represents a lifestyle choice (100% longhaul) that significant numbers are choosing to forego. As a result the list of pilots moving to the 787 stretches significantly down the seniority list.
