define a lot slower? .78 vs .80? We do get paid by the minute right?
The benefit to that slowness (actual airspeed as well as less optimum tracks/altitudes to stay out of the way) is getting rid of the unaugmented Europe flying the 757 does in many cases. So with an all aisle access Polaris rest seat, the 321XLR flying will be better then current 757 international flying in terms of pilot comfort and safety.
