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.
I think the 321 neo makes a lot of sense. Given that we already have sims, training program, and pilot, why not get some neo's? Maybe such an order is upcoming.
The 737's are not delivered with live tv. It is installed in MCO after the plane's go into service. I don't know what the time frame is, I just flew a 900 that is about 10 months old and it wasn't installed yet.
