Even with reduced thrust, performance is damn good. Is it a 757? No. It's a 737.
Now, it's uncomfortable as f*ck, can't deny that.

Sitting in coach on a 757 is just as bad as a 737. I’d rather be in a CRJ and I hate CRJs in the back

I meant the cockpit. After a 3h flight, I need another 3h stretching All my respect to Southwest pilots.

The 757 sold great. It was discontinued because newer airframes had big cost advantages. Delta once put out that the 737-800 operated at 30% less cost per seat. There were also no new generation engines available in that thrust range to re-engine it plus it requires wide body support equipment.

They stopped production because airlines stopped ordering it and every aircraft ordered was built, not because Boeing deemed it uncompetitive. Let’s not rewrite history.

A better way to say was, it would have continued to sell. It didn't, for many reasons.

For most of us, that essentially stopped after getting married anyway.

Wait, what?

That and everyone knows a Miata is a much better car for combat operations in an apocalypse scenario.
