My dream is a domestic mileage run in the US that is NOT on an EMB145 or MD80. Well, there is the very occassional 757 "Slave Ship."

My cousin is a pilot for AA (flies the BOSTON-SEATTLE run). He just got certified on the 757 (after flying the 737 for years) and loves the performance of the 757. I said the passengers may have a different perspective. He laughed and said that the FAs refer to the 757 as the "Slave Ship" as well. Apparently, no one likes it other than the pilots.
