Just beats me why Boeing shut the 757 line. Is the fuel performance on 737-900/ERs with the CFM-56s just so much better than the 757 on, say, flights up to 5 hours plus?

Watching the full Arkia 757-300 get off Cork's r/w 35 just north of the intersection on the way to Tel Aviv was some sight to behold. What performance!
