It's interesting that every time 757's and age is brought up it's always the NW 757-5500 series...
I checked and 602 through 623 were all built before 1987. In fact NW's oldest 757, 5501, is three months newer than DL's 602.
Not sure what the plan is going forward but there are more DL 757's that, on paper, look more likely to time out before the 5500-series.
