The 757 was made to replace the 727 and serves a different market segment than the 737.



I think you're missing the point, here. The 757 was a 727 replacement because the 737 was never meant to be flying the routes and carrying the pax that it is today. The 737 MAX 10 has become, pax wise, a direct competitor of the 757-200. Airlines are demanding a 757 that doesn't require a new type rating, which is how you get this frankensteins monster of an airplane.


Now, now, frankensteins monster could hold its ballance and had two sensors to sense the pitchfork wielding crowd.
