Titan announces that they are leasing three (newly acquired?) 767s, seemingly undermining their business partner.
No it's not the end of the world, just an inconsistent message. This is why these forums exist, so us underlings can discuss these peculiar happenings. I personally think these 767s were already spoken for (by Titan), or they don't meet Atlas' fleet standards. But it's possible management is blowing smoke up our ass about wanting to expand the 767 fleet.

This ^^^^^
A330s are quickly becoming the 2nd choice to the A350/A321XLR for the airlines. Conversions happen quick

Personally, I don’t get this
So we should bring back 707s and 727s so we can be worthy of a pay rise?

There’s no stopping technology. It marches on. But computer engineers and doctors are paid top dollar because they have a skill set to accomplish what can’t be accomplished by the average person.
Anyone who doesn’t see the relationship between airplanes that won’t need skilled operators and the inevitable nose-dive in pilot compensation is a fool.
It’s going to happen eventually. I see no reason to be gleeful about it, just because you get to “fly” a shiny jet in the meantime.
