Good Luck!
I'm not so sure about your last statement...there is no way to support a small fleet of 11 767s (currently), and meet new hire requirements, if the company keeps growing...AND keep to the CBA requirement of the 3-year freeze for new-hires. There just simply is no way to satisfy both of those without hiring into another aircraft type (747, 777, abc, xyz, etc) if there is that much growth.
I agree that the 767 should become the junior aircraft, because there are many dozens right now that have been involuntarily held on a lower-paying aircraft while a more junior pilot is on a higher-paying aircraft...in fact, (since first-year pay is the same for both aircraft), every 767 FO past his 12th month is being financially harmed by this deficiency in our CBA.
