Resurrect the 757

Yep, in a straight 737-900 the ref speeds are just stupid fast... what I do to land those pigs is Flaps 40, Brakes 3 every single time. Actually, I do that whether it’s an 800, 900, 900ER... it just gets the ref speeds down to a somewhat “normal” range.
And on the other side of the coin... we'd fly some legs in the 757 pretty light. Once you got down below 141,000 lbs, you hit the min Vref of 109 knots. That's some GA final approach speeds right there.
