>I do have some experience with this. I worked for 3 years on the design of the 757. Thousands of engineers spending maybe 5 years on it.

Just wanted to say that's really awesome. The 757 is by far my favorite Boeing jet of all time. They are so overpowered it feels like taking off in a fighter jet. Delta still flies them from LAX to HNL, and it's always so much better than cramming into a 737.

I am always pleased to be boarding a 757! I was sad when the front page of the Seattle Times showed one being cut up for scrap.
