How is row 7 on the 717? I've only been on one flight in the 717, in 1st class, so I didn't have the opportunity to check out the legroom. I have to say that if you're going to fly coach on any airline, row 7 on a TWA MD-80 is about the best you can get. There's more legroom there than any row on the plane including 1st class. Also, the partition to 1st class is only a curtain so you can put your stuff underneath the 1st class seat in front of you (though you'll have a hard time reaching it because it's so far away!)
