When will a Delta 717 come to MKE?
Yes I'm posting this in the AirTran section as the Delta 717's were from AirTran. And they had a hub at MKE. But with more DL 717's coming in, Is there a likable chance that Delta will have any of those 717's come to MKE?

Delta 717's have already come to MKE on-and-off, generally to DTW. At the moment I don't see any in the upcoming schedule, however.

Actually I was looking at airfare for Spring Break looking to see if one of the segments would be a 717 and I happened to find one from MKE-DTW. But from where I'd be going they currently would want 200 dollars more if I'd connect in DTW verses ATL which I wouldn't be on a 717. But as far as I'm concerned I heard they change their schedules to different aircrafts from time to time so something could actually come up as to think of it. At least MSN has 717's^

I'm actually surprised they haven't thrown the 717s at HPN rather than MSN.

DL being hub and spoke can change aircraft based on advance bookings or cancellations and aircraft/crew availability. Upgrading or downgrading metal and moving things to where they're more right sized.

You can download DL 's desktop schedule and look into the future for 717's @ MKE and/or sign up for flightaware.com and set up automayed emails for all 717 arrivals into MKE.

Honestly I was not really expecting that route to have a Delta 717 flight. Looks like they change stuff at the last minute... So anything could pop up.

I've been on a DL 717 and, well, imagine the possibility of making AirTran seats more uncomfortable. Delta turned it into reality. And only 12 F seats.
