A350 Jet Plans

In severe weather, there's no aircraft I'd rather be in than a 757. The thing is built like a brick ****house.

So far as I can tell, "overpowered" is a feature, not a bug. Of course, the 757 is a narrowbody, same upper-fuselage cross section as the 707, 720, 727, 737, etc. That's just the way it is. Only other criticism I'd have of the 757 is that it's slow.

I didn't mean to disparage the "overpower" feature. It's nice. If I were on a twin jet airplane that was gonna blow an engine at rotation, there's no other airplane in the world I'd rather be on than a 757. No question, the 757's power is nice. That's why I mentioned it. The rest is crap, IMHO.

also were AWA 757s all used or they ever bought any brand new ?

I believe they are all very-short-time used aircraft, ex-Republic and ex-Eastern. The Republic aircraft were turned back to the lessor after the Northwest merger because they had Rolls Royce engines. AWA snapped 'em up cheap.

we took 6 757 from republic airlines they were only a few years old northwest didn't want them with rolls engines, we took 1 new that was an eastern order they didn't take then we took 4 more new that were our orders then 3 used junk from eastern after they went under.

The one new EA is N907AW, which is scheduled to leave the fleet in March 06, unless there are changes to the 757 fleet plan.

The 3 new HP 757's (delivered in 1988-89) are N908AW (AZ Cardinals theme), N909AW, N910AW. These are the EOW aircraft for initial Hawaii service.

The three junker EA's are N913AW, N914AW, and N915AW(Neveda Theme)
