That combination has been out of production for about 15 years, so it's pretty much a given we're talking a high time engine.

And Northwest Airways also had over 70 757s that were acquired by Delta. All P&W-powered, I believe.
The also have a fleet of Pratt powered 757-300s they inherited from Northwest (IIRC, the only 757-300/PW2000s built). Unless they recently retired some, they have over 200 PW2000 powered 757s.
