Sorry to see the 76's go as they are easily the most comfortable trans-Atlantic aircraft. I would deliberately choose them over some other offerings.My mate being only five foot the two side seats were like our own compartment at half the price.
No! The 717 was one of the most iconic plane that flew to my home airport. It was a fun plane to watch come in. But, it's an old airplane and it had a good lifespan.
I'm curious what this means for long/skinny routes like PDX-AMS that typically use the 767-300ER. I think they aren't busy enough year-round for A330 or A350. Will they be cut or is there another option in the fleet?
How is something that is going to happen 5 years from now "news"?
The 717's can move back to the other side of Atlanta's C concourse as Southwest realizes it can't just depend on 737's. I understand SWA has quite a few pilots who know the 717. :-))
I flew the Fantastic DC-93 for Ozark in the Mid Late 1980's.. If the 717 was anything like the DC-93, I would have loved that aircraft as well!. The VERY LOW Cockpit noise from the DC-93 made the Flight Deck actually BETTER than most other types of Aircraft. Actually could talk to each other up there.
