I definitely never regretted it - I don't think you'd have trouble getting to DTW, personally I'd bid 737 or 320 rather than the 717, as the 737 will have growth in the future while the 717 is generally stagnate (no more deliveries).
717 is where the movement is. We won't see any 737s for at least 2 years anyway. I'd avoid the 737 at all costs and get on the 717 DTW if you want some semblance of seniority. Then hop to the 737 when the MAXs show up.
