The 737's only saving graces are that its easier to service at the gates, 30 percent cheaper overall non fuel costs then a 757, lower fuel burn then the 757 on a per seat basis and far cheaper to build. I am befuddled why the 757 is not still in production. The only possible reason I can come up with is that airlines want to make money.
