Aeroplanes, I love them dearly, but they are just machines, and all machines have their day. Preserve a few for posterity, and recycle the rest.
On another note, was that one of the Ansett "odd-ball" B767s with the company ordered Flight Engineer station, thus reducing their resale value and on-going commercial viability to NIL ?

All Ansett 767's with the flight engineer station were ultimately converted back to 2 crew aircraft.

Lil' Pilot,
The company didn't, you'd better direct your question to the union (The same union wanted Flight Engineers on DC9s).
N'uf said, it's all history.

But why would a company choose for the flight engineer configuration?
