I read somewhere that the 717's are one of the cheapest operating airplanes per seat mile, even cheaper than the regional jets. Has anyone else heard this?

Actually, MD-80s and 757s have a lower seat cost per mile than an RJ.

DCI RJ's are around 14 cents and an aircraft like a 757 is around 9 to 10 cents
