it looks like AA will be rolling out a sub-fleet of 18 NGBC-equipped 757s for international flying next year. Config will be 16 NGBC seats up front and 166 Y seats
(compared to 159 on CO, 158 on DL, and 144 on NW). J seats will have the AVOD PTVs while Y still gets the overhead LCD monitors.
Other then BOS-CDG where else could they be used?
BOS to DUB and MAN have been tried before in 757 (sold as Y only)
The AA 757 are NOT the longer range ETOPS TWA that DL now has
so their range is limited.
For Europe could only be from BOS and JFK (maybe ORD to Ireland) to Western Europe.
They could also be used from MIA & DFW to Central America.
CDG, AMS, MAN, DUB, EDI are prob the best Europe possabilities.
Anyone have any other ideas?
18 is a big number for new or changed Intrenational routes. Guess they also could be used for Transcons.
