Tommy767 noticed these diversions dealing with the IAD-AMS/CDG 757 routes. It's well documented these same aircraft had fuel shortage issues flying from Germany to EWR. Note that the return segments are nearly +2 hours. As Tommy767 states, since we are not even in winter months, I wonder how this bodes for this the future of a 757 on these routes from IAD.
IAD- CDG: 7hr 25 min RETURN: 9hr 15min
IAD- AMS: 7hr 30 min RETURN: 9hr 10min
AMS- IAD: 2 diversions in the last 2 weeks

The ugly head of a 757 performing TATL missions it was never intended for, absolutely stretching the equipment to its limits?
