How long will 767's/757's last

[OBK!]

I love these aircraft but was told BA are to see them go in another 2 years :( :( :(

I have always been focused on a charter airline to join, such as Britannia as they have my favorite aircraft. 767 and 757 and a bit of 737, though how long will they last!

I want to fly these aircraft wihtin the next 2years for Britannia, but will they still be there and for how long?

All the ex-BA 757's sold are being turned into freighters to be operated by DHL Air and EAT for DHL. They'll be around a good while yet

Sorry if i offended any 727 pilots :cool:

I've kicked the tires of those BA 757s awaiting cargo convertion in Alabama, at Mobile's Downtown airport [KBFM]... all look in pretty find condition to me... and infact positively sparkling, parked next to some rotting old 747s and all the passing 727 traffic!

Brenoch - what do you mean when you say the 757/767 is soon history with Brits?

[OBK!]

Speedmaster, read the topic starting post.

[Brenoch]

I'm sorry..

However, they are soon history with Britannia..

Clear enough.. ;)

[OBK!]

Soon history with BRITANNIA! What do you mean?

[Brenoch]

Brits are dropping the 757's, probably to get the super-scud, 737-900X, rumours has it the 767's will be A330... :(

[OBK!]

No...No..NOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Is this TUI's fault! I hate that little devil!

[Brenoch]

I think the beancounters are to blame for this one.. :(
