 Boeing 717-Airtran
I flew with Airtran rountrip Charlotte to Dallas and had the opportunity to ride in the Boeing 717. Strange, I had never heard of this aircraft before I had my tickets. I seems to resemble the DC9, maybe a little bigger (I might be wrong). Anyway, my question is if anyone in here flys this aircraft. It seemed that every landing was extra "firm". I don't know if that is just how this plane lands or if the conditions just happened to dictate planting it on the runway. Other than that, it seemed to be a smooth flying machine. BTW, the experience with Airtran was a good one, and I hope the airline can hang in there with the recent turmoil.
