Sorry to derail the thread but why did you get bumped? JS doesn't count against load. I've ran into this a few times and I was always able to stay on.



I'm guessing she just didn't know the caveat.

Even with the weight difference the 757 trounces it on actual performance of short runways or in hot conditions. There is only so much you can do with a 117 foot wing and single axle trucks. I got bumped last week jumpseating on a A321 CEO for weight flying CLT to LAX with good weather. Took 20 paying passengers off also.
It’s amazing that 30 years later nothing matches the 757 in all around performance.

You appear to have a continued problem in admitting you are wrong. Now you’re doubling down on the single axle truck thing and refuse to acknowledge you were wrong on the thrust and start up.

The AA 321s are mostly legacy US aircraft with lower thrust engines without the sharklets, thus the weight restriction. Ours do not have those issues.

Well, considering they only sold about 1000 757s and 2800 A321s and the Neo is just getting started. .. I think you can say that the 757 doesn't hold a candle to the 321s where it matters.

So are Delta's going to be ETOPS? I see this replacing the 757 for thinner Europe routes. That may require Delta One, which may lead to these doing premium transcons.

It is an entertaining thought to calculate what a 757 with a mature 40Klb thrust gtf could be capable of doing. :)
