Default Boeing quit the 757 too soon....

Does anyone else feel that Boeing stopped production of the 757 prematurely? I have always thought that Boeing should have kept the 757 alive. I know Boeing thought they were going to push the airlines into the 787-3, but we all see how that worked out.

US Airways pushes for A321neo to have flight range for Europe and Hawaii

Kind of makes one wonder if Boeing could bring the 757 back..... But of course that is just wishful thinking. Too bad because the 737-900ER is not good enough to cover the longer 757 missions. The 321neo "perhaps" could get there, but I have my doubts. As a Bus driver myself, the 321 is underwinged (is that a word?) for a true 757 replacement.

Thoughts?
