Howdy,
Man does this carrier pack the passengers in their aircraft. 28-29 inch seat pitch; OUCH!
Interesting to note how much more powerful the 757-200 is vs the A321 from their web page. Is the A321 underpowered (thrust 33,000 lbs) or the 757 (thrust 41,500 lbs) over powered?

'It shakes about its that overpowered'. Does it?
Bkonner - That is typical of the british charter market, we are all used to it by now :)

Been on so many 757s i am not going to try counting but never noticed it shaking.

ok maybe there was a problem with the BA 757 but it deffinatly was shaking around when the engines started.

The 757 is a great a/c :D
You'll never experience a take off like it (unless you've flown Concorde that is ;) )

The 757 has been the mainstay of the British charter fleet now for the past decade, it's dominance is now starting to wain slightly as fleets buy more A32X aircraft. We are used to being packed in like sardines for our holiday flights!!!

I loved my flight on a First choice B757! So comfortable, and the bright leather seats really get you in the mood for a good holiday! ;)

Just been looking at some u.s. charter carrier websites. They seem to have 757s in configs of 215 to 230, much as we do in Europe.
Don't forget First Choice is primarily a holiday charter carrier, not scheduled.

I havent noticed this website before but its the official First Choice fleet information website.
It says they are getting another two B757 and obviously the three B767
