Why was the 757 discontinued?

 

Boeing produced more than 900 of the 757-200s and about 100 of the 757-300s before the plane's production ended in 2004. Boeing stopped production as airlines at the time were looking for smaller planes like the 'A319/A320 and the B737.

 

Is the Boeing 767 safe?

 

The 767 slightly outperforms the 757 and 320, logging fifteen million hours per accident. Like the 757, it was first built in 1982 and features technology so similar to the 757 that pilots who qualify for one qualify for the other.
