The Cheapest way from A to B
You could fill a A380 when QF gets one and then we would have the lowest cost per seat.
Even better they could walk. Now that is the cheapest way!
The 717 Ugly? well I will have to disagree. The 717 is a fantastic aircraft to fly, Looks great and nothing in OZ beats it for a quick (legal) final. Dash-8 blokes scramble for their keys!
The rumours are more BS but not the 717!

sorry to butt in...
I flew the 717's at TWA for just less than 1000 hours.
The ceiling is FL370--but you had to be light. You could go .80, but the fuel consumption really went up.
As to the reliability, it was a learning curve that went dramatically upward as time went on. Had quite a few delays when the planes were new. Six months later, they were trouble free. Actually, they had the best dispatch rate of the whole fleet(767,757,MD80,DC9...).
The noise in the back on the ground is the worst I've experienced. In the air, it's better than the -9 or the 80.
For those of you that get to fly it, enjoy. I'd give anything to get back in one...
Cheers.TC

Oh thumpa, get you all the time don't I?? . I think you and ditzyboy need to take a St Johns wart. Go back and have a look at your threads thumpa, small, negative, sly and defensive. Got too much time on your hands?
blat, I'll show you my trailer park if you show me yours.Don't misinterpret this as having a go, I thought you were funny.
Ditzyboy, how do you know what I look like? did you get your palms read when you and your mate Trent the American FA were at Sexpo recently? pipe down little man, your an FA on a 717, lose the self important, overinflated opinion on life and yourself.
Anyway, enuffs enuff, starting to yawn, got a good result though. Maybe I aint that far from the long term truth though? I'm sorry my "harsh" tone caused you and thumpa to blow your o-ring seal Ditzyboy. It is a rumour network.

Whether a FA on a 717 or Chief Pilot on a 747: All opinions are important Capt Conrad or was CRM something you had for breakfast.
I respect the fact that Ditzy has enough b@lz to give us his opinion.

Sorry to blat and thumpa!
Blat and thumpa....
My humblist apologies for the bottom of my last post. I edited it so many times perhaps the original bit still came out? Dunno. I thought all three of you were having a dig. I was extremely tired and read and re read your posts and re wrote it a couple of times. Hence only the top part address to Pete should have come through. Still dunno how it happened. I am sorry all the same. I should just stick to brewing coffee and looking busy! Seriously I am sorry. What I said to you should not have come up as I deleted it all. My reply was edited to be directed at Pete only.
Pete...
I have no feelings of self importance at all. Maybe they were yours and you misplaced them when they fell out of your @ss with the rest of what you're about? Also I have not once tried to pass off that I know anything technical about the 717 performance wise. I am merely stating an opinion and asking for others' views. I am after people's opinions that may be worth something. Not someone being a bitter sod thowing around negative and worthless replies.
Who is Trent? Is he cute? Oh and I didn't go to Sexpo. I was probably doing something a little less sad. Glad you had a good time though. Why do you stay there and leave us all alone.
Rude nasty litlle man.
