You guys are so special we've negotiated both a cargo cutout AND experimental rules for you.

Actually has more to do with the fact that we're almost exclusively a widebody/heavy fleet so it is a bit simpler to implement and likely to have more impact overall.

Wake isn't the only problem following a 757. The bigger issue on 36 at the planet will be spacing with a flaps-35 MD following a 757. With 170K over Cadus and a typical 20-knot tailwind at altitude it takes some heroic slowdowns to get the 75 stable with a Vref that can be as low as 109K. The MD will smoke right up the six of the 75 in this situation. TOGA TOGA TOGA big boy

If you haven't been around Naval aviation that long or at all, and find yourself a little challenged by the lingo, Google is your friend.
I'm sure many longtime aviators have made it though their careers just fine with out knowing about the "fouled deck".
