Damn you Tsquare. Damn you.

I pull up this website and my wife and her friend walk beside me... what are you looking at?

The Delta pilot... forum... thing. Really? Yes. Is that what they post there. Yes? they do.

Now, you, Mr. F/O, go find some moderate, I'm going to the back to save the Ta-Ta's!

Maybe we're buying that BA 777 that's been hanging around ATL the past few days.

So we have a DTW and ATL 717 base; many more 717's on the way.
Question: How many 717 destinations to/from LAX does it require to make a LAX 717 domicile worthwhile?

Whoever started it, it sure got around quick. That was one of the first things out of the CA's mouth on this last trip (right after "get your finger out of your nose, 80").
