The reserve staffing on the 717 is an alarming 3 percent, so you actually may get a line immediately out of training. Its such a shortstaffed category and they're still getting 30 or so more of these delivered for a total of 88. Youll fly much better trips on the 737, but you will also have a lot of 4 leg days regardless of which narrowbody fleet you go to. They just annound a new NYC 717 base a couple days ago which is a great move for the network options feeding NY.
