I hope not too. I used to be a big airbus fan but BA's Airbus are pants narrow isles, and charter seat pitch.
Long live to BA 757.
However if Big Willie follows his EI routes, bring on the A330 and more 321's

Ordered 1 A320 and converted 3 x A319 orders to A320
Ordered 3 x A321

I'd prefer to see those 757s (preferably with APB winglets) go on 767 SH routes and more 767s go LH - the small size of the fleet might prevent that though. Would need more 321s to replace them obviously.
However, the most rational destination for the 767s, expanding MAN (bmi have shown TA does work from MAN if you do it right - but they aren't doing it right anymore) won't happen with the LHR-centric BA mentality.

End of the road for BA's 757 fleet.
Had a weekly brief the other week, and for certain I can remember my local manager quoting WW as saying "The 757 fleet will be gone within the next eight months", obviously this is me passing on what I heard, and can't exactly confirm if this is what WW really said, but I do know that everything I have been told by this person normally bears fruit, give or take a bit of time!!

It is a pity that WW does not get rid of the rubbish 737's flying out of LGW, at least the 757s are tidy inside. I would question this comment as we start the Iceland service this month and that can only be operated effectively by use of a 57.

HZ123, the Iceland flights are scheduled to be flown by 737-436 as shown on BA.COM flight numbers BA2790/BA2791 and the leases on many of our 737s have been extended past the initial end of lease dates by 2 to 4 years! Have no more details at present on the fate of the 57 fleet, although we would have to start end of lease checks fairly soon for the remaining 57's to be all disposed of by WW's timescale!
