The 717 line in Long Beach was shut down in 2006.
As a frequent flyer..I wish Boeing would find a similar replacement for the MD-80. Cool looking planes...plus the seat configuration gives you less of a chance getting one of those horrid middle seats on the 737.
It's also a shame there is not more 717's being produced. Much rather fly in one of those than an RJ. I am sure Northwest would replace their DC-9's.
