They are becoming more and more rare in this day in age. I think the last time I was on one was on the way to Hawaii. I know they are used on a few trans-Atlantic routes still.

Wow- I fly AA regularly, but haven’t been on a 757 in a looong time. Seems like they’re being replaced by USAir’s A321s, and 738's.
Nice aircraft - I recall sitting next to a UA captain many years ago, and he was raving about the 757 being his favorite aircraft. Something about departing PDX, and breaking through the overcast at 5000fpm to see Mt Hood...

I like them too. They just haven’t gotten the attention that they deserve in the cabin. The bin space is very limited and I don’t love the seat layout. It’s not bad if you have a window or an aisle, but i am in the middle seat this morning.

The cabin, and long boarding lines, has always been the complaint about the 757. At some point, Boeing figured it was better to invest in the 737 than the 757, so it was left to wither. The new 739 and -10 carry as many or more pax, too. A shame.

Delta has a good number of those, and I was on one last weekend. Odd layout inside, but it felt a little roomier than most 737s for some reason.
I frequently see C-32As on approach where I live. Very handsome airplanes.
