Even the XLR can’t match its abilities 
I mean Boeing originally called the 739 a 757 replacement
What a joke that was
I flew InselAir -83 
Me angry
biggest joke I’ve heard in my life even tho it’s true
even bigger joke than the A321LR
well they ended 752 production and started building the ER version 739 right away
and let’s just say it didn’t work
At least that has the range
739 doesn’t even have the range, let alone the performance 
and let’s just say it didn’t work
I mean it did work
so well that I don’t see A SINGLE REGULAR 739 TRANSATLANTIC SERVICE and there are still tons of 757 transatlantic services
performance
Oh, my favourite ![]()
A321neo take-off distance: 1988m
739 takeoff distance: 3000m
Meanwhile the much bigger A330: 2780m
757: almost VTOL 
All are at MTOW, and the neo is heavier than the 739
757: almost VTOL
at MTOW I suppose it’s about 1800-1900
that 739 has less range than the -700
Max 10 replaces 757
Wikipedia says 2000m, tho I highly doubt that
Range be like:
Performance also be like
757 and A321 figures: when they don’t actually need that much
739 figures: when it needs more
