Why hasnt US followed the other majors and ordered winglets for the 767s to save fuel and money?

Probably because they are SOOO old and US wants to get rid of them ASAP.

If they were going to get rid of them, then why have they redone the interiors?

To my knowledge, the 767-200 has never been wingleted by any carrier.

Plenty of wingleted -300s flying around though.

How much longer will our 762s be hanging around anyway? 2 more years? Would it be worth the expense to modify them? Just a thought.

I agree the 767-200's are very old and tired. I'm sure that the company would have replaced them years ago with 330's if it weren't for the tough financial times.

Could we get the 767's in the takeoff line up behind the departing 737-300's please? There is another airplane that can't be turned into beer cans fast enough. Talk about a tired bird. Great airplane but so was the DC-3. Get rid of them already. Good Lord. 🙄

The winglet mod is for 300's onlly there are differences in the wings someone would have to do another STC to put them on the 200 and my guess is they would also be smaller.

There hasn't been enough interest from anyone, let alone US in winglets for the 762. It's destined to be exclusively used by cargo carriers pretty soon.

Actually, winglets for the 767-200 series are available. If Boeing wins the Air Force's NexGen tanker contract, Boeing is proposing a 767-200ER with winglets.

very Funny and True. You will not see any tears from me regarding that Garbage Truck called the B733 leaving or hopefully the 767. It will NOT happen soon enough!

Good, sell them to the Air Force. Thank GOODNESS the 300's are going now the 767's need to go.

 

[NYGiantsFan90]

I guess you all forgot that when US was bleeding cash, tjhe 767 fleet was the one making the money for the company.

 

[Travelpro72]

Yes, yes a great ol' bird but tired all the same. The 767 and 737 are dust bins and need to be put out of their misery. Good Heavens third world countries are flying more modern equipment these days.

EXACTLY! Offer the Government a 3-for-1 Fire Sale Bargain. We will give You Three 767's in exchange for You giving US One A330 (any configuration). As time goes on the ratio may change 4-1, 5-1 and eventually 9-1. Just GET RID of them already!

US' 767s are not suitable for the tanker role that US Govt might be buying and I dont want my tax dollars going to France, when people cant find jobs here in the US.
