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.

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.

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.

That actually makes a lot of sense. JB's "mint" will need an already priced in hard competitor we can deploy at will.

LOL and it probably would be "better" from a performance standpoint. But at what cost? We like climb perf. Airlines only care about it to the extremely limited extent that the lack of it actually prohibits you from doing a market. That's rare and that's the extent of it. If a GTF 757 made the amount of sense plane loving pilots wish it would they'd build it.
