Hey,
I presume that some of you guys around here have flown either/or both of these planes at some point in your careers.
Anyhow, I was speaking to an Iberia pilot the other day who is rated on the MD80, and said he "really needs four eyes to keep a check on all the controls" - What with the 717 being basically an updated MD80, and with more digital panels, does it make for a very different flying experience?
Also, more importantly - did you enjoy flying either or both of these aircraft?
Thanks,
George
