However, you need to ask the question, which one makes more money? You may say 757 but I took one of our planes over to one of the MX shops that are doing the window heat mods and he said the 75's that he's worked on the UAL side are being sent to bone yard because it's to costly to bring them up to speed. It will cost more than they are worth. His words not mine. He said one's that are close to break even to fix are being sold to the likes of FEDEX.
I guess you don't fly to Hawaii....or out of Denver on a hot day.

It's a guppy and it's a PIG!
