The 757 is not the same fuselage as the 707/727/737.

Even though it looks like I'm going to the 737 in a few months I hope marketing puts nothing smaller than a 757-200 on Hawaii flights going forward.

Dump the 75 and bring back the 10. A WAG in the 757 is not my idea of a good time.

It's not the same fuselage, but it is the same diameter.

My error. I actually thought the 707/727/737 used the same tube and the 757 was new and larger, Turns out I'm wrong on both counts (maybe the 707/727/737 use the same nose). 707 is a larger fuselage (even different from the KC-135) and the 727/737/757 are all the same size (757 sure seems larger).

The 757 and 737 are the exact same dimensions (width-wise) in terms of the fuselage.

However, the floor on the 757 is lowered slightly compared to the 737. This gives the appearance of a more "roomy" cabin.

The only difference being the length.
