757: "flying sardine can that looked like it was from 1950s" All Boeing narrow bodies viewed from where the passengers sit are indeed, 707s from the 1950s. They may be doing the same work more efficiently with two engines, and better navigation aids, but back in tourist class, they still are 1950s planes - not even that - legroom and personal space have been eliminated. But then we want lower airfares, and that's what we're getting. Up, up, and away, Doug
