Looks a lot, no exactly, like former DC-9 routes. Seems to me like the 717 is more a DC-9 replacement than some sort of "growth" plane.

NWA did DCA - IAD - SEA for a year or so on the 757.

We used to do YUL-MIA-FLL. Take off out of MIA and be right on down wind for FLL.

Out of DTW, yes. The rest are taking back former main line flights that went to the RJ's. AGS, ICT, and TRI.

Lax-Ont, Lax-Sna, Lax-Oxr (Oxnard California). Fun times...

United did OAK-SFO in the late 80s/early 90's

DL did ATL-AGS-CAE during the same time period.

So "growth" would be a "stretchhhhh" then. More like taking back what was lost a couple years ago. Agreed!
