While people may not be fans of the 757-300 it comes with one of the lowest CASMs of any aircraft making it the airframe of choice to compete against LCCs and leisure routes.
well it might have been a great plane but Boeing was not able to convince anyone to buy them. I always hoped Boeing would re-engine the plane to be more efficient and sell it again.. Oh well we are getting the 737-900 instead.
