I'm used to flying Southwest and their 737s but I’m on Delta today with it’s booked seats. On this leg I’m in a 717-200 but booked my seat thinking behind the wing by a few rows is usually quiet. My fault for not actually looking at what plane I was flying on and booking it blindly. The plane does bring back fond memories of flying on DC-9 and MD-80 planes years ago though.
I’m also amazed in an awful way on how Delta can put less leg room in a mid-sized jet than in a regional jet. Leg one today (Cinci to Detroit) was on a canadair jet which was fairly comfortable but leg two (Detroit to St Louis) has my knees driven into the back of the seat in front of me.
I am taller than average (6' 2") but still this is going to be an uncomfortable 90 minute flight. About to pull away from the gates - see you on the other side Oppo!

At least it’s a 717. All of my DC-9 flights had me sitting in the ass end.

I remember those 717's... I flew in them all the time with Iberia... I think we at times disembarked though the tail cone stairs.

Iberia doesn't and has not flown the 717, which is a continuation of the DC-9/MD-80 family, but has flown the 727, which had turbojets and the staircase on the ass-end from which D.B. Cooper famously jumped off.

Iberia flew the MD-80 family for many years... thats the plane I referred to.
Did Boeing change the Md a lot?

Think DC-9-30 but with turbofans instead of turbojets. The -30 was basically the answer to the 737.
