Well my choice would have to go the the B717-200. It's a lot cheaper than buying and operating 737's and carries the same loads as the current BBJ. Now that Boeing has decided to continue producing the 717, maybe they are willing to make some good deals for somebody willing to purchase several. At last report, American will be returning all 30 of theirs back to Boeing by second or third quarter and if Midwest Express doesn't pick them up as part of their 50 aircraft order, Boeing surly would like to see those aircraft back out in the marketplace with somebody else. Besides, who want's to fly an old 737? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
