Well, the 757 & 767 have been in for a long-run, 20 years now.

Is it true to say though,that in terms of the 757,it's operating costs are quite high ? It's supposedly heavy and overpowered for some operations (a virtue of it's flexibilty i guess).

BA are in the process of offloading 40 of them ,and instead of replacing them with nice new 757's (passengers favourite),have opted for the smaller A320/A319.

I love the plane, it feels robust, powerful, smooth and aesthetically is one of the best looking airliners ever .

I'll be sad to see them go
