These are low cycle 767s

Bwahaha...
These aircraft have been worked. No two ways about it they are 25 years old. Not that there's anything overly wrong with 25 year old airframes, but 'low cycle' they are not...

They only have about 1/3 of the number of lifetime design cycles for the airframe accumulated so far, due to the long block times for most flights in their life, so for 20-25 year old aircraft, they are indeed low cycle. If you want to understand what a high cycle airframe looks like, review Aloha 737s from the past.

That was a test flight to shake out the final snags for rectification, before delivery to WestJet.

That's just a dummy booking they have been doing as part of getting ready, it's shown up a few times in the last couple of months.
