717 only does EWR, but you don’t get it often enough to worry about it. We do get rerouted, though I have experienced nothing like I have on other fleets. Most of our stuff is benign reroutes. Like you had a 2 hour sit but now go fly this turn instead and end up back on your rotation. Most reroutes are neutral.
