Where did all our 757's go? I was on a A321 jump seat yesterday leaving ATL at noon, we went out of A18 and as we taxied on Lima all the way down to Ramp 6 before turning onto Mike to get in the 21 plane conga line for 9L/M2, I looked at every jet on A, B, C, D and E, not a single 757, and none in the takeoff line up either.
I saw lots and lots of A321's at A gates, which have taken over most of the ATL-MCO flying, along with all the 737's/Mad Dogs/717's at B and C gates, but not a single 757 in the ATL? Were they all airborne in the 8/10am launch, going to the west coast, or up in JFK and DTW? It was rather eerie not seeing a single 757 in ATL.
