Most of the 757's I've seen here were built in the 90's.
It could just be that just the ones here are being sent elsewhere, and A330's brought in. Most of the American Airlines 757's used here are for nonstop flights to Hawaii, with occasional trips to within the continental US based on need.
But the 757's here are mostly hanger queens. Seems like every day I see 2 or 3 757's being towed to the maintenance hanger, and when I left work tonight, there were 6 sitting around the hanger.
