Speaking of tomorrow, N680DA retires tomorrow, just shy of 32 years.

Also, yes, it does shorter legs too. Becasue from ATL-MCO it can get to 390+ no problemo, not cloud plowing thru the merk. Also, lots of cargo going back and forth as well. You really should get a meeting with Network and cargo folks. You might actually learn something. It's an interesting situation they find themselves in. No decent production variant of an Airbus (save for maybe the 350-1000) can haul what we want where we want it too. The boeings did fine always in that regard (777, 747, 757, 767ER).

Repeat after me: "Airbus always over promises and under delivers"
getting to 390 on atl-mco is cool for pilots but doesn’t matter at all to network as long as the flight makes it in. as another so sagely said, the 757 is not a personality.
