Hey all,
Now with AA converting some of their 757's to their TATL network, I was wondering... how many special variants of the 757 does AA have in their fleet??
There are the TATL ships in 16J/166Y configuration - how many and which tail#'s??
Also, I know there are only a handful that are specially reconfigured to run the MIA-LPB flights given the 14,000ft+ elevation of LPB - how many and which tail#'s??
And finally; is the entire AA 757 fleet ETOPS-capable for the Hawaii routes, or again is there an ETOPS subfleet??
Are there any other types I've forgotten or am leaving out??

This was a subfleet at one point but isn't any longer - all 752s are now high altitude (they never converted the ex-TW aircraft to high altitude, so there was something of a high altitude subfleet at one point, but those aircraft are all gone now).
I can't decide whether I miss the tulip or the bowling shoe more

3 variants:
1.- 18 757-223, ETOPS certified, configured for TATL flights and other long intl flights (16J/166Y)
2.- 13 75ER, ETOPS certified, configured as the domestic 757, for USA-Hawaii (22F/166Y)
3.- 93 standard 757-223 (22F/166Y). All are overwater certified and can operate all the flights except USA-Hawaii and TATL flights.

Thanks, very interesting. As an additional question, do all AA 752's have winglets? I'll be flying an AA 752 MCO-JFK in December and would love to fly a 752 with winglets.

You're welcome. If you travel in a 757, it will be have winglets for sure as AA completed the installation on all their 757 some time ago.

Don't forget that one domestic 757 has already been reconfigured with 24 F, as a prototype. Unfortunately AA hasn't resumed converting their domestic 757 fleet.
You have to wonder with the Anti Trust Immunity whether AA might not be tempted to convert more 757s to international configuration.

The MAUI (Mid-life Avionics Upgrade Initiative) airplanes is another variant but it has nothing to do with marketing. We have another set of 757's that has upgraded cockpits. We are taking and replacing the CRT's for the EADI and EHSI with LCD screens. All the 757/767 fleet will be modified. But until then we are considering this a sub fleet just due to parts issues. This is what the MAUI cockpit looks like.

The 767 I flew on from LHR to BRU as AA108 in Dec 2009 had that modified cockpit with updated avionics already.
