It could have been reality, had my employer chosen to go for Boeings all-out instead of mixing with Airbus. The 757 was a contender for the new 190-200 seat class aircraft ordered in 1999 but one of the reasons it wasn’t selected was its unnecessary long range. It would have made a great trans-Atlantic workhorse, but now this is A330/A340 territory and if they are too large for a long-haul route, the route is cancelled just as Oslo-Newark was. Now Continental is flying that very route with 757s…and apparently great economy.

Nice images though!
