757-centric airports
As I taxied to my gate this evening at LAS, I noticed an unusually large proportion of 757s. I seem to recall the same phenomenon at SNA. Are there certain airports at which it makes more sense than others to fly a 757 rather than other planes?

the short answer is ...
LAS -- high capacity, need low cost/seat plane
SNA -- short runways (also need cheap due to WN)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
