I've never, ever, heard anyone associate a 717 with a regional jet. >> For crying out loud, I was talking about people talking about the 717 competing with the CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) 900 and the Embraer 190 (which people often mistakenly call the ERJ190). I don't think it is a regional jet either, I think it is a really quiet, cheap to operate, advanced DC-9-30, which no one calls a regional jet. People here seem to call it a competitor to the RJs, so I was mentioning that. Now if anyone else wants to call me an idiot, show me up, or otherwise, go ahead, as I am not dignifying anymore of this
