757. Maybe. But from what I’ve seen it also comes in short on MGTOW on that comparison as well.
I read an article last year about Airbus developing an A322. New wing. Bigger. To be a 757 replacement. 321 like it’s Boeing counterpart 737 can only be stretched so far... before...

Airbus has been keeping the A320 wing span shorter for greater airport access, but remove that restriction, and an A322 kills on CASM.

Airbus talks about 321xr, 737mx, 320 replacement was ready to go if Boeing had decided to do something other than max route. 30X.
