New hires trying to kill you in the rt seat. Cramped and I mean really tight cockpit. Miserable seats. Wretched coffee. What else? Tabs and pulleys. I don't think you'd be happy on it (if your senior).
Or long-time former WB FO's trying to kill you in the left.

I recall some of the power that have-been saying RJ's were self-financing, and opening up the checkbook for MD-11's. For ATL-MCO.
If you're talking about those guys, their disdain for the 717 is a ringing endorsement for the aircraft.
