I'll weigh in just a little bit on this.
The 717 is probably the most credit-heavy fleet (short legs, less block.) This means that last-leg RRPY is very likely to be more of a payday on the 717 than other fleets. Add to that the style of flying of the 717 (turn after turn from base) probably also makes it more prone to reroutes. Sit pay is rare (hard to fit in a long sit to 4-leg days), EDP is common. All that to say, the 717 does thrive in both trip credit and soft pay.
