[edit] Accident summary

Figures are identical to those for the 767... that seems highly unlikely. Pretzelpaws 17:24, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Why is that? Both have lost 9 airframes:

[edit] Winglets

Could someone merge the most recent entries regarding winglets? One was mine and another was added more recently. Perhaps someone could reconcile them? I don't want to revert as that would just be snippy :) Dowlingm 15:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Done. Josh59x 20:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Range

Continental offers 757 flights form Newark to Hamburg, a distance of 5,239 miles. I cannot believe it, but it is true: [1]. So the 757 is a long-haul jet--Arado 21:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

The 737-700ER has a similar range, too, so it can perform some of the same missions. Mind you, it can't haul as many pax. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 21:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that 5239 miles is correct - maybe that's the miles you get for your OnePass account, depending on your booking class. The actual distance is about 3300nm/3800mi/6150km. Anyway, the Continental 757-200 for intercontinental services are not standard 757-200 as they came from the production line - they had some modifications done, including the winglets and a range increase. Also, the 757 lacks the comfort that real long haul jets provide. Concerning the differences between 757-200 and the 737-900ER:
•The 737-900ER seats 15% less passengers,
•does not fully reach the 757-200's range,
•doesn't provide the 757-200's lift capacity (757 has a 35% or 30t higher MTOW),
•and in general lacks the 757-200's hot-and-high-capability.

[edit] Airlines consider it too big for domestic ops

What a load of garbage, maybe in the US but Qantas frequently used it for operations (along side larger planes including 767 and a330) between melbourne and sydney. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.224.14.194 (talk • contribs) 01:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC).

Um, no. Qantas does not operate, nor has it ever operated, the 757. Ansett looked into it during the 1980s, but ended up ordering a smaller aircraft, the A320, instead. I do agree with you however that the phrase is in need of some explanation or reference. --Nick Moss 03:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I was refering to size not the actual plane --60.224.14.194 03:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
