There are A320F in use in China

I’m amazed there’s no pax -> freight conversions if prices are that depressed, particularly for A321s. At a time when 757s are in massive demand, a 757 Class aircraft on the cheap? Surprising.

A 757-class aircraft, but without its payload, range or volume.

Not Airbus, but haven't Delta been buying older MDs for quite a few years now, then breaking them up themselves to provide 'cheaper' spares for their own, flying fleet ?
Delta has bought MD80’s, and 717’s for parts. They also picked up one 777. They have a strong maintenance department and manage to generate extremely high ontime rates and completion factors with older airframes. Average fleet age is over 16 years.

Yeah, even the A321neo is not a real 757 replacement. They don't make 'em like they used to.

None of the Boeing or Airbus narrow bodies actually "Replace" 757s...None come close!

Flew on one as SLF last week that was 32 years old...probably older than some of it's pilots. That crew said retirement is now stated to be in the 2020's. As long as fuel is cheapish, they will keep using them on regional type routes. It's hard to say the Maddog isn't a workhorse.

Breaking commercial aircraft is very big business.
Was that the one at Kemble? Keep trying to find someone who can tell me when a jumbo is coming in, that could be quite impressive on that runway.
