Airbus A321LR to Replace Boeing 757
I wonder why they did not want to put the 321 in Group III, that didn't take long.

From: recalled until the next round of right sizing to optimise synergies
I blame Boeing, they were too busy counting beans to update/replace the 757, and now we will all be subjected to this garbage.
You know it will under perform, even in the article they mention how they will put a fuel tank where paying cargo or bags used to go.
Bumping pax and or cargo so we can cross the Atlantic at 280. With the way the 321 climbs, it will be lucky to make 20 by the entry point West bound out of Ireland. What will they do, enter a holding pattern to climb short of the tracks?

We'll see how good French engineers are. Can they tweak an engine for more thrust and better fuel efficiency???????
Let's not even start talking about stopping distance, and yes I know the 757 has extra set of mains, but just using reverse thrust, the difference in deceleration mind boggling.
I think substitution would be a better term than replacement.

I am the *very* last person to criticize another's use of the English language...but the text of that student newspaper article (opinion piece) gives no actual sources and contains no actual citations to support the headline's assertion that the 321LR will replace the 757 in Delta's fleet.
While I think it is easy to draw that conclusion to any semi-interested observer...the content/headline disconnect makes it seem like intended clickbait.
But the author tells us the 321LR has an "extra fuel take" going for it, which is nice.
