West coast to Hawaii might be a better fit.
From the Boeing site:
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - 737 - Range Charts
I will vouch for the 700s awesome range - I know guys who have ferried from Hawaii to JAX non-stop with re-dispatch and guys routinely do HNL to DFW, Ok actually NFW
Scoop - Thinks most DAL Captains are awesome - even the guys who don't buy the beer!
i've heard passenger servicing is limited on the 739 for transatlantic flying. dont have specifics but I guess you could say if the 739 could do it better than 757s then CAL wouldve done it years ago with their ETOPs 739 that were long rumored to be transatlantic birds.

The minds around here are plenty screwed, we dont even notice anymore.
