Ah, but not as cramped as a CRJ200 I'd be willing to wager.....
If DL really does replace some CRJ200 frequencies with B717 flights, I think it will be an improvement.....not to the mention the fact the 717 will have F as well as extra legroom in the enhanced economy section of the airplane.
BTW, flew on a Midwest Express MD-80 SFO-MKE r/t some years ago and thought the legroom was just fine....not to mention the nice service including freshly baked cookies.
Back to DL, I'm hopeful that we may see the 717 deployed on some routes that are strictly served by DL Connection RJ aircraft at the present.....time will tell, of course.
