I saw on the daily trip coverage for the 717 today that they are retiring an aircraft. I didn't know we were getting rid of the 717's also?

I first heard of that 2 years ago. 717's will be gone shortly after the SWA lease deal is over. This was discussed in CLCP/FC/FAA level and it sounded like it was decided on. They looked at the Hawaiian jets to buy those for parts, but were not happy with a possible deal.
Just a messenger.

Long term storage to save time on the engines, vs retired, is what I heard. I think there are 3-5 parked, so far.
