4 of the 5 use PW 2000 series engines for their 75's.
Granted UPS uses PW's on only half of their fleet, but with 1050 757's delivered the above numbers represent aprox 30% of all 757's made.
Nice try
I'm not sure why you're saying "nice try".
The vast majority of B757's in service worldwide are powered by Rolls RB211 engines. That's not hype. That's a fact!
UPS had PW's first then switched to Rolls.
Every Airline you mention above is a Rolls Royce customer!
All variants of the B787 will enter service with RR engines (RR is the only engine certified to date for the B787)
The A380 entered service with RR engines. RR has greatest market share on the A380. The A350 will enter service with RR engines.
Like I said, PW can't compete with GE and RR!
