All I said from the beginning was performance wise not in the same class. Economically I get it. From your post seems like you flew the Pratt version of 757, POS compared to the RR.
10 hours in a narrowbody isn't any worse then the 777 with 10 across.
The PW757 a POS? It did just fine for the missions at UAL it was planned for. Domestic, Transcons and Hawaii. And TWA and Delta (including former TWA 757’s they aquired) flew PW 757’s across the Atlantic so it was hardly exclusive to RR 757’s.
Again, what do you consider to be performance? Speed? Runway and Climb capability? Range? Fuel Burn? Something else? Because the 757 has better performance in some aspects, and worse in others compared to the XLR.
last i’ll comment because its a drift from the main topic.
