The 757 is long dead. They stopped manufacturing it in 2004. The real answer was the 797, which Boeing scrapped in favor of the 737 MAX.

- dboreham 6y agoMy point is that the 757 was the replacement for the 737, to accommodate high bypass engines. So we are a very long way down this road.
- CydeWeys 6y agoWhen it came out, the 757 was a significantly larger and more powerful plane than the 737. It was not a direct replacement, it was a new model in a class above what the 737 at that time was. Then, after the Boeing 757 was already in the skies, Boeing kept making the 737 bigger and started impinging on 757 territory, which had previously been separate.
