My question (to Probe) was related to the entertainment. He seems to be under the impression that the Guppy does not have in seat tv. It does.
Personally, I wish we would take the ual 757's and bring them up to cal standards, with personal ife and updated cabin. It's a better plane than the 737, no doubt.
I rode in a 900 the other night EWR to DEN that had no entertainment system at all. Nothing. I guess it hadn't been retrofitted yet? This was not the first one I've been on that was sans TV in the back.
There are several 757-200's that have been upgraded to PS. However the majority of the 757's are slated for retirement. The fact that the 757 is a more capable airplane than any 737 is irrefutable. The fact that they are getting old and that Boeing builds nothing that replaces them is also irrefutable. Sad to say but the new generation Airbus narrow bodies are a decent replacement.
