BACON is BA by any other name. It is rather snobbish in my view to pretend otherwise. All of the 28 B767-336ERs delivered are as the name suggests, ' ER aircraft. Some of which are only used on short haul for capacity rather than range reasons. They are all capable of going long haul if required.
Perhaps even the 7 with QANTAS should they ever return.

as has been pointed out, all BA 763s are ERs. Rod E mentioned when the initial EF duskings were done that further duskings could be done depending on how the initial ones went. So the notion of "shorthaul" 763s seems to be not based on the fleet as currently constituted.

I know that, I work on the damn things for BA. My point is, someone asked if they had all been dusked? Answer was YES, all the worldwide ones have been dusked!!! But then someone said except the ones in the shorthaul config...ooooh never mind...Woosh over all your heads!!!!

A couple of shorthaul ones were dusked as well or so we have been led to believe? Bet a few more will end up having the same done as well as its the only option for LH expansion without new aircraft or route cuts.

Too mean to buy a long personal title

But then there are repeated accounts over the years about them coming back at the end of their lease. And with BA committed to no capital spending on new long-haul aircraft it would be a way to increase the fleet without the spending.
Would be unusual for Qantas to be so keen to keep them, they are moving across to A330s, and their 767-300 fleet has two different engine types, with the RR ones being the minority, so one would expect those to be the first to be rationalised out.

BA PRESS RELEASE
British Airways is to launch a new service from London Heathrow to Calgary in Canada on December 1, 2006.
There will be five flights each week on a Boeing 777 to the city in the Canadian province of Alberta.
British Airways’ director of planning, Robert Boyle said: “Calgary is an important business and leisure destination. Alberta has a growing oil and gas industry and Calgary is the gateway to the Canadian Rockies which a large number of holidaymakers visit throughout the year.”
In addition to this new route, the airline is launching an 8th daily service from London Heathrow to New York JFK on December 1, 2006 and increasing flights from London Heathrow to Sao Paulo in Brazil from seven to 10 each week on December 3, 2006.
Robert Boyle said: “We offer a more comprehensive schedule between London and New York than any other airline with three flights each day from Heathrow to Newark in addition to our JFK services.
“Brazil is an increasingly popular destination and we are adding extra capacity after air services talks earlier this year between the British and Brazilian governments approved more flights between the two countries.”
Calgary becomes British Airways’ fourth destination in Canada. This summer, the airline flies 10 times each week to Montreal, three times each day to Toronto and 13 times each week to Vancouver. All flights operate from London Heathrow.
This is the third new longhaul route that British Airways has launched in the last 18 months with flights from London Heathrow to Shanghai starting in June 2005 and to Bangalore in October 2005.

QF have recently put some of them through heavy checks according to D&G sources and with the move of their 330s to Jetstar I doubt they will want to give up the 763s any time soon.
(edited to ask - are any routes being cut back to accommodate the services to Calgary/JFK/Sao Paulo?)

Meanwhile, while Waterworld fiddles like Nero, Emirates has nicely taken a huge slice of the Australasia / Far East traffic and, working with Continental, provided excellent links to and from the USA. Etihad is expanding rapidly and wants Abu Dhabi to be a similar transit hub to Dubai. Astraeus, SN Brussels, and a whole wealth of African carriers are providing the healthy links to the African continent that BA decided Heathrow pax would pay bigger bucks for!
Funny how Gatwick passengers pay big enough dollars to other airlines at Gatwick, but not to BA innit? As I recall, British Caledonian attracted high fares - it was simple mis-management (and possibly a bit of unproven dirty tricks by BA) that put them under
........Just watch what happens when the OFT investigation is complete and BA is forced into giving up slots at LHR to appease the US and force Open Skies through! Where will BA put its displaced flights? The only thing is, by the time Waterworld gets off its over-fed backside, there may be no more slots available at Crawley Regional Airport!

Hey Briscoe. Suggest you post this in the cabin crew part of the website. However it could be considered company sensitive information. How I dont know but thats why I wont be telling you the info. Sorry about that.

Cant think how on earth its sensitive. And since you asked about flight crew the cabin crew forum probably isnt the best place. At the moment its 2 crew for 2 nights in the summer and 3 crew 1 night in the winter. The 2 crew bit wont last for next summer though its been a disaster
