Huh? The MD-88 and 717 are basically the same airframe. The 717 has quieter, more efficient engines, however, and almost brand-new interiors (including power at every seat). They also don't smell like decades of stale coffee. The only knock is that the 717 has fewer FC seats, but it also has correspondingly fewer economy seats.
717 >>> MD88
