The -900 will probably be a good money maker for us and will serve well on the shorter high density segments. I'm still curious as to what the long term solution is for the 757 replacement. DL has in the past been the launch customer for the DC-8, DC-9, and 767. Perhaps there are ongoing discussions with Boeing about future developments.

I wonder what a GTF would do for a 757?
