JNU will be especially interesting this summer as they are going to close the runway and let us land on the taxiway.

I've always thought it was a better plane than the 737. I don't know why Boeing stopped making them (757). They just keep candy coating the 737, a 1960's airplane. When DL buys us I'm going to the bus. ;-)

What Boeing did to the 737 reminds me of what Beech did to the Beech 1900(D). Where a clean sheet should have been, there's strakes, vortex generators, pods, etc.

This thing Boeing intends to do with the MAX, increasing nose gear length and bastardize an overworn airframe and cockpit....it has become the laughingstock of the industry.

Not to mention a cockpit design that was designed for normal size humans unlike the 737.

Winglets, tailets, stabilons, and strakes, actually.
And the D model had the desired CG envelope and good speed, without resorting to a SAS.
It's a good plane, but the aesthetics are "love it or hate it," for sure!

An extraordinarily ignorant statement. It's the biggest money making airplane in history. A lot of people are laughing all the way to the bank. Enough said.

It is a much better airframe. It also costs way more to produce and has a higher maintenance cost. In addition the required ground support equipment is not compatible with most narrow body support equipment. Boeing quit making it because airlines quit buying it. Delta put out the 737-800 had a 30% cost per seat advantage over the 757.

I really wish I could have flown a Beech 1900D.

Why are we sending the 757 to an MD-88s job?
