No comparison whatsoever. Delta is installing seta back IFE in all their 757s, domestic included. Even AA's international 757s don't have that. Just the occasional overhead screens.
Regarding the -80.. Please treat my noble queen with a little more respect. Hands down one of the best and most fun aircraft I've ever gotten to fly. Steam gauges, thunderous takeoff that sets off car alarms, quiet cockpit, Old style Douglas reliability...in essence, an aircraft that makes an aviator out of ya. So bugger off, you punks of the Magenta and leave the old school stuff to us!

I agree. What a blast the S80 was. Comfortable, quiet, well lit cockpit. Seldom broke, if it did it would often fix its self before you could write it up. I always felt safe in it.
You DID have to fly it! When it comes to the new generation, I think the guys that don't like it grew up playing video games and the ones that do played outside!
