Although I think the west coast stuff will be up-gauged and/or some frequency cut out, I don't think a 717 would perform any better than the 175s are because the schedule that the airplanes are expected to fly from 06:00 to midnight is just absolutely insane. Nothing longer than a 30-40 minute turn the entire day...what could possibly go wrong?
