Just watched this video of a Boeing 767 get retired to the graveyard:
And now I have a few questions
What happens to the last few pilots piloting the aircraft like what Seth saw with the MD11? Do they get retrained to fly other aircraft? http://blog.wandr.me/2014/10/video-klm-md-11-retirement-flight/
In the video, the 767 flew from Sydney to the graveyard - but what about planes that don't have the range from far off lands like a Boeing 737 from BKK to the graveyard? Also with that what about the reverse when an airline takes a new delivery of a shorter range airplane? How do they handle the logistics to it?
