Agree 100%. BB is indeed the smartest person in the room. I enjoy reading his posts.

Also agree that stage length has a huge impact on QOL. 2 years on the 200 was a beat down. The 700/900 is like the country club compared to the 200. Life has been much more enjoyable and trips go by much faster since coming over.

I'll be surprised if the 717 keeps going senior. It has a nice cockpit but those short stage lengths and multiple legs might change some folks minds. 88 seems to have much longer legs to a wider variety of destinations(Caribbean etc)
