757s Being Cut from AA Fleet
Looks like AA is starting to retire 11 757s in the year of 2012 unfortunately. Taking on a big 737/A320 series order. What beats me is that I still see more fuel burning MD80s still running. I guess they are going to take out the 757 before scrapping their MD80 fleet. Nothing against MD80s though... (finance.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
767s started flying before the 757s,they're just as old,still tryna figure out why AA & DL still flying them MD80s,with no retirement plan for them...I wish they would've hung on to the 727s a lil while longer,if that's the case,they're both fuelaholics..
767 is wide body plus over the past few years the MD's have been going thru a complete reman at Tulsa, inside and out and may be newer in that respect.
Odd indeed with the same story over at Delta. Their 737-900ER order is to replace the 757s yet there plenty of MD88/90s around still smoking around.
Been flying on these AA 757-200's for 14+ years now - birds are old with very old interiors. Typical routes I have seen them were the JFK-SEA, YVR-DFW and MIA-SJU all routes could be serviced by 737-800's. This will put a strain on the amount of 737-800's as they were originally slated to replace the old MD-82s (not the ex-TWA MD-83s). So I presume the 757-200's will still be doing short transatlantic routes too long for 737-800's. Too bad, nice bird with good track record.
Can the 757 fly across the Atlantic?
I think that they should replace the MD82s first also.

Yes, the 75 can go across the pond...from the east coast. AA Flt210 is a 757 from JFK to MAN. We used to fly to Glasgow and Dublin from the east coast and those were 75's as well.
