This may be a minority opinion here but I find the F seats in DL's 757 (especially the older ones) to be among the most comfortable in DL's fleet. True, you don't get the extreme pitch and in-seat IFE that you would on a 767-300ER, but the better padding and width make the 757 a more comfortable ride during waking hours. The narrow 767 BE seats are pretty miserable for sitting, IMO.</font>
I totally agree about the padding on the 757 seat, but the pitch is terrible compared to DL's B/E or AA's J seat. Without the IFE, the 757 is an extremely poor substitute. In addition, on a red-eye, the 763 wins hands down.
