I have flown both extensively. I choose the 737 because the pay is the same, but I don't have to fly all night.
The 757-200 doesn't burn all that much more gas and it can actually go somewhere with a full payload. Not to mention operate out of places like Jackson Hole with no issues what so ever.
HOWEVER this is all mute as the death bellow of the 757-200 has begun. It doesn't matter that it's being replaced with an inferior airplane. It is what it is and once again there is nothing we can do about it but carry on.
