its a shame the 757's are leaving, last year i spent many a trip to MAD and back on them from LHR. i understand though that due to age BA needs to modernise and move forward. Boeing i think found a winner in the 757 - its certainly my favourite passenger aircraft and one which is still very popular around the world by airlines. Shame Boeing couldnt extend the shelf life of the production a little longer.
Still i have gone off the point, rumour i heard is some of the BA 757's are cargo bound - DHL i believe could be the new operator, and the deal might already be done? ........
