Default 757s at Elite

I'm just a lurker , but the reason Elite may not be getting 757s is because a whole new training syllabus needs to be created, maintenance needs to be trained, etc., and there aren't many 57s out there to acquire right now. The carrier I work for tried to scoop up every serviceable one they could a couple of years ago. Some were sold because they would be too expensive to keep. I know from my own experience that 57s are having pylon cracking problems, along with other things, because they're getting old. On a side note, I'm a CRJ pilot with 2300 hrs. in the 900, could there be an opportunity to fly part-time out of central Florida?
