Dump on Midwest because of the seat color, huh? Step back and think about that for a moment.

Coach on the FL 737 (decent) and the FL 717 (very tight) is not uniform. And flights to the east coast, ATL and Florida frequently swing back and forth between the 717 and the 737, so good luck predicting more than 5 weeks out what plane you'll get in those markets.
As for the fleet, a little patience might be in order when it comes to broad pronouncements. You as a customer, of course, have every right to choose as you see fit. Every customer does. But when it comes down to it, for most customers it will come down to the standard things things...price, frequency, flight times, FF program, corporate contracts. That includes people who earlier "swear off" an airline for some wrong or perceived wrong.
