I also can vouch for that, buddy of mine at EWR said the deal is too good to pass up. Pilots are pretty happy about this, 753 has a higher pay scale than the 752.

So when will we hear an official announcement about this? Is CO going to redo the interiors of the TZ aircraft to match CO's? Do the TZ 753's have the LCD drop down monitors? What is the terms of cost and financing?

You can bet that we will outfit the airplanes so they are totally common with the rest of the 757-300 fleet. One of Gordon's most important lessons is to maintain consistency of product, so I wouldn't expect anything similar to the early 1990s where we had as many as 7 different interior styles in service to go with a variety of paint schemes on the outside.
The 757-300 is fitted with 12 First Class and 210 coach seats.

Thanks for the pax #s info.
So, none of these 753s would be used for domestic service? I ask, because we get some 753s in Denver. . .don't know about them recently, but I do know the ones I've seen here in Denver always came from Houston.
Ding! You are now free to keep supporting Frontier.

Scorpio, I was wondering that same thing too. I don't think FI's only 753 can even make it to MSP from KEF, much less one to take the entire trip across the pond even from New England without restrictions in either direction of some sort.

If CO gets the 753s they'll be used to replace capacity lost by domestic 757/767s and on a few Hawaii runs. Remember that CO's 753s are not ETOPS and they do not have BF or international runs.

COs upcoming ex ATA B 753s will be a good fit too to the Continental Micronesia Fleet on key-high density regional routes from Guam such as Japan-HKG-TPE etc.
These B 753s should also replace B 767s operating on the LAX-HNL route as the B 753s are more suited to this mode of operations than the longer range B 764s are.
The extra B 753s as someone said will also come in handy for medium haul trans-atlantic flights from EWR to DUB and SNN + extra/charter flights in the peak (and short) winter season from EWR/CLE/IAH hubs to popular beach cities such as Florida-Bahamas-Bermuda-Mexico and Caribbean.
If CO has no need to use al 12 B 753s, it can too look into leasing them out (for extra cash) to European charter/LCC airlines who would relish the extra capacity of the B 753 in the winter season on flights to Greece-Spain-Turkey and Portugal.
25 TWFirst: I thought NW had also expressed a desire or a wish that they had ordered more 753's.... wonder how they will (or they do) feel about this deal.
26 Gigneil: NW won't want the RR engines. I dunno about the 753 replacing all the high density. ATA's 753s are ETOPS, but that doesn't mean CO will maintain the c
27 Bobnwa: Since they don't have P&W engines, Northwest would have little interest in them. Some on this board have rumored that Northwest expressed a desire for
28 Cb777: These ATA 757's would not be a good fit for NW due to engine type
29 Cactus739: You guys crack me up...I love threads like this. Someone posts a rumor on the internet about CO taking 757s from ATA. Within a matter of hours... you
30 BestWestern: Didn't ATA say they were keeping the 753's for charter work?
32 Warren747sp: Right, Scorpio don't cry and write a huge article next time some body gets a wrong spelling! W Any body know if ATA have gotten any 752 to sell to say
33 Avek00: CO will not deploy the 753 on TATL runs - it would require considerable expense to maintain a small international 753 subfleet, and TATL markets that

36 Avek00: Not quite, Gigneil - I don't have the latest fleet count numbers handy, but the international 752 fleet is sizeable, and growing.
37 Gigneil: I think its in the range of 16 airframes. The point of course is that the international 753s could be maintained as part of the "international 757" su
38 Avek00: Yes, but CO will get virtually zero utility out of a Intl. 753 subfleet - such a plane does not fit into their TATL strategy, and there's a more press
39 Ewr756: Two things: Cactus739 is right - all this excitement about an unconfirmed rumor amounts to a waste of time. 777gk: Whoever told you that CO pilots mak
40 Corey07850: nothing on the CO employee site yet...
41 LN-MOW: There won't be either. Somebody has been sniffing too much jetfuel

43 COAmiG29: this is a dumb question but is ata going under completely or just downsizing? --COAMiG29--
44 Max Q: The 753 Just does not have the range to operate profitably westbound from anywhere in Europe but Ireland, or west coast- Hawaii. If we get them and it
45 Thrust: Sure would be nice to see more CO 753s in the fleet. THey are RR powered, correct, otherwise CO would refuse to pick them up?
46 AirplaneBoy: Cory6188~ "Do the TZ 753's have the LCD drop down monitors?" Yes.... Cheers!
47 AlitaliaMD11: Hey to answer an earlier question the CO 757-300s do have LCD drop down TVs and very nice seats! I flew COs first pessenger 757-300 flight from EWR-FL
48 Mdsh00: I also do believe that the ATA ones have LCDs. That they do have for sure. I flew ATA on a Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays charter last year and the 753s w

54 AA737-823: Indeed, RX7, the 753 has THE lowest seat-mile costs of any narrowbody in production. Or out, I guess, as the 757 is now out of production (feels weird
