DL has stated that any new aircraft receiving PTV's other than the rest of the A321ceos and A350s will get the wireless IFE system. IMO it makes sense to install IFE on the 717 now that DL has the new wireless IFE which is cheap too install and is lightweight. The current 717 seats are already IFE compatible with a cutout in the big empty white space on the back of the seats.
