    The 757 was dreamed up with Eastern to replace the 727 fleet.

    She is a fine craft for flights from here to MIA.

    But is a flying $hitbox for over water flights, especially Continental, yuck!

    Ugh, yea I hear you. I was on a ANC-DEN redeye this summer (I think it was like a 5 hour flight) on an Alaska 737, which was almost 100% full, and I was about to kill myself after that flight.

    Exciting to hear about airlines using 757s across the pond.
    You are right about 764s being used across the atlantic. Specifically JFK-Shannon/Dublin will have that equipment. For some stupid reason, for now, it will be all Coach class.
    However you must have heard wrong, well partyl wrong. All 757s owned by Delta will be two class, getting rid of Song but keeping Song style entertainment with tvs on every 757 in its fleet by next year. They are already re-configuring many 757s. Flights to Mexico and D.R which used to be 757s from JFK are temporarily 738s. They will not use 757s across the Atlantic.
