UPS based nearby in Kentucky had been a big PW user but recently made the switch to RR. I'm told the PW engines were not making TBO and were less fuel efficient than the RR.
American Airlines added 26 757s from TWA with the PWs to their fleet of 136 RR powered 757s. I hear they will sell the 26 soon due to the high price of oil and their high consumption. That's just the word.

Regards, AL
