Bingo. I get that people love the interiors of the A321 (who wouldn't) but put that interior in a 75---now that would be awesome. Get yourself into a rough ride, and the 757 will handle it better than ANY AIRCRAFT. Such a smooth flying bird.....
Ask anyone who has ever flown her and they will tell you, flare even a LITTLE bit too much and that ..... will float down the runway and onward FOREVER----you either need a shot gun to the wings or the dreaded "power back" to get her down (aka, BAM, we just landed). Amazing lift capabilities for a single aisle jet.
Like a typical member around here, I just completely derailed this thread OT, sorry OP.
