Thanks for sharing. Any cabin shots?
Why is 1R not a full door on the 717? Not enough room in the galley area? Seems like it would be a PITA for catering and others servicing the aircraft. Wasn't a full door an option on some DC9's?

Particularly, I find most McDonnell Douglas aircraft to be masculine. The exceptions are the DC-8 and MD-90. I consider the L-1011 to be more feminine than the DC-10 due to the aft-mounted engine being in an S-duct.
