possible delays with the 717? I hear they're slowing training somewhat to help mitigate the 88 pilot shortage (i.e. keeping 88 pilots longer). And I've heard from several FL pilots that the MELs are getting pretty long on the jet. Someone from training explained that Boeing has to accept the airplanes first from SWA and per the agreement they can't show up in a mess. If so, that could cause some delays prior to them getting fixed up for us as Boeing and SWA work out who is going to pay to get them to what Boeing says is acceptable. So expect the "aggressive" delivery schedule to fail. Supposedly though we do have a 717 ready to start some bounces and OE training. And that once they're here they'll do some sort of job share with the DC-9 in that they would sporadically pull a DC-9 off and put a 717 on the route as they see fit.
