My pal was a skipper at BRS for TOM (prev Air 2000 A320/321) on the Boeing 757/767 for many years and he just retired a couple of years ago.
He loved the 757 (and the Airbus)

He knew well before his retirement the Company's plans, much to his disappointment that the 757's were going for good around now and told me that the 738 and MAX were not the most ideal equipment to operate high density and HGW ops in and out of the airport (BRS) due to their lower crosswind limitations that the 757 could cope with plus higher approach speeds of the 738 combined with BRS's shortish runway.

Had he not retired early he mentioned he would go back on the A320 family that he flew after leaving the RAF
