AA is quite comparable with 757/767 mix as is UA.

their bretheren.

Delta has a fleet dominated with 757s, 767s with a healthy but
seemingly relatively small number of 727s and 737s through the fleet.
Their competition have A319s/320s and 737s scatter amongst their fleet.

I don't think anyone else flies the 757 and 767 in the quantity that
Delta does.
