Could Delta Trade In Older Boeing 717s For 100 New 737 MAX Aircraft?
A report published today indicates that Delta may be working with Boeing on a deal to swap Boeing 717s for 737 MAX aircraft. First reported in The Air Current by Jon Ostrower, the deal would have Delta swap out its leased 717s and take on an order for 100 of the beleaguered Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. If this deal goes through, the ramifications are enormous. (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I love the 717's didn't think Delta would get rid of them so soon after getting them so cheap
That sucks. I don't want to fly one of those committee decision death traps. Nope... They keep finding things wrong with them. It's a disaster.
I certainly hope this is a story from someone’s imagination. Flew a trip back in October. First leg in a 737-900. The second leg in a 717. The 717 was far superior in every possible way that you can measure passenger comfort. I even told the FO as I exiting, “this is a great airplane. It’s a damn shame they quit making it”.
love the 717.
quite.
high climb rate.
boeing showed real dumb mass deleting it.
yeah, i know it competed with the 737-600. better to compete with yourself, than someone else.

Firstly. there is no viable replacement for the 717, and don't say any model from Scarebus! If that were true then why did several of the majors as well as lower cost carriers try to convince Boeing to restart the 717 line several years ago? The 717 was just a few years out of place, and should have continued in production a while longer. A fine airliner that deserves a better treatment than it gets.
The A220 in both 100 and 300 series is a viable replacement .
...as are the E190-E2 and E195-E2, if the greater range of the A220 is not needed.
