Basically, how do you like the 717 compared to the mad dog and what are some of the things too look out for in the 717.

Thanks in advance.
It depends on what you came from.

If you came off of the DC-9/MD-88 you will think it is awesome.

If you came off of the A320/E170/B777 you will not be very impressed.
