Delta 717 issues
Spoke with a friend at DL tech ops. The 717 will not make its first DL flight in September, maybe not even October. They tried to put in seats that where not certified for the 717. All transition work has stopped. They have not taken official delivery of any 717s or gotten it on their certificate. I say this substantially increases the chance of it being at SWA into 2015.

I've heard they want to increase the rate of delivery of the 717s, though.
