is this a new plane or is delta shirking on maintenance (delta's fleet is one of the oldest)

This is an older plane. The last 757 was produced around 2004, so they're 20 years old now. That said, I absolutely love this airframe there an absolute pleasure to fly. The Delta configuration has bathrooms in three spots on the plane. I'm fairly certain the fuselage is a little bit wider than a 737 so you get a little bit more room in the aisle AND there's more exit row seating. The 757 has an interesting wing design to improve efficiency. It's like partially super critical or something. Maybe somebody else can add on to that.

I remember flying the 757 a from Seattle to Detroit during covid and it was basically completely empty. It's a bummer were going to see them start going away.
