Which ever is cheaper, that's usually the answer.

(thanks for playing along ... I've got the perfect windows crash message, but don't want to host it ...)

The 717 is a DC-9 type rating. I believe, technically, it's a DC-9-95, same as a MD80 is a DC-9-80.

FWIW, the most dangerous thing I ever did was to drive a Renault LeCar with front end problems.

Which is braver? Driving it or admitting you drove a LeCar?

Just me glad you didn't flight test the Douglas FMC software. When working on the VNAV decent with a arrival / runway change they saved money and beside a skydiver matches the glide profile of a Douglas product with full slat extension they just used a dude with a parachute, about two dozen. Here's an early test sequence:

Isn't that all of them?

Curious, did Renault's engineers all move to Long Beach?
