Sorry SWH .... not having a go at you.
The retirement of the 767 will be a very sad occasion; there is still no suitable replacement for it on the domestic network. The surplus of 767 crew has been known for quite a while though, and managed through reduction-in-numbers etc.
QF seem adept at 'hiding' excess crew via LWOP, VR or transfer to shorthaul. So long as the mainline airline contracts, that day of reckoning is getting closer. But the guys to cop the initial redundancies will be well junior to 767 drivers.
I just think CX are completely delusional of their ability to attract anyone to HK on the package on offer now, other than the inexperienced or desperate. It's far down the list of aspirations for QF people now.
Such a shame.
