Anyone here flown both the 717 and Airbus? Prefer one and why?

Wasn't my comment pretty obviously a joke? No offense was intended.
Besides, this form of communication is a pretty well established and mutually beneficial way for pilots and management to remain engaged without having to hold things back until it is safe to formally commit a proposal to paper.

And I knew it was a joke because LCA rumors dont mean what they used to.
Haven't flown the 717, but it's a lot like the MD-90, just more automated (technically an MD-95). I enjoy the -90, but I prefer the A320/319. The Airbus is much more integrated, automated, easier to fly, and roomier with a table & 2 jumpseats up front. The APU cools the aircraft immediately. The systems are a "lights out" philosophy, so if you don't see a light illuminated, then the system is working properly. You can fly the Airbus as manual as desired, just need to fight complacency.

Delta acquires more MD-90s from Japan Air Lines

And the seemingly incongruous remark---
"That strategy will continue next year, when Delta will begin accepting deliveries of new Boeing 737-900ER aircraft, which will be used on domestic routes."
So why bother with ETOPS?

Maybe it doesn't cost much? I wonder. Where is the G&G show?
Maybe it's like buying a truck and going ahead and getting a 4x4 even though the only time it will ever go off road will be into the flowerbed. It just is worth having in case you want to one day use it off road or it snows.
G&G= george and gloopster
