I'll get re-routed on my next trip because I typed that. Again thats just a snap shot of my experience, could all change at a moments notice. The horror stories come from my worn out 320 buddies. I think with the 717 being exposed to a relatively small section of the operation compared to other fleets, it kinda limits the possibilities for torture. And to clarify i'm speaking of ATL 717 here.

As someone that’s coming to Delta soon and is currently on the RJ, is the 717 a good platform to start off on? I do want to do something new in the way of flying but I don’t want to struggle with the craziness of NYC or reroutes.
