Anyone have an idea how long we are stuck with the 757s? There sure are a bunch of them and I don't think they're that old.
I wonder if the J seats from the 763s (which will be removed) could make it in a revamped International 757 F cabin (of course marketed, like 763s, as J), therefore they wouldn't have to pay for new hardware but just for configuration and installation. Perhaps AA could make a business case for a small sub-fleet of J'd 757s for thin routes to Europe out of JFK, trans-cons, and Hawaii ops from the West coast.
