MSP-BDL is about 100NM longer, MSP-EWR is about 70NM longer, but MSP-CLT is up there with the longest flights. We've been doing all three a fair amount this year and they are painful. If I were a paying pax, I wouldn't be thrilled with that long of a flight without seatback entertainment. It's made even worse by the fact that our internet often isn't working.

It’s the only flight I’ve seen on the 717 where the scheduled block is over 3 hours. We did it with no alternate and were only 1000 lbs below topped off tanks. Any significant wx enroute or somewhat distant alternate and you’re probably looking at a fuel stop.

Yuck. Not a fan of the black, at all. Where has that ever been in our "color palette"? Wonder how many $B's they are spending on this?
Hopefully, someone actually thought about the overhead bins this time... I suspect our premium flyers care much more about that than the color of the seats.
So glad we've got a couple hundered new/almost-new 321's and WB's in the legacy colors to replace. Only delta would nearly complete a new aircraft purchase plan right before refurbishing the cabins across the board.

I was hoping for that exact thing! And a separate travelnet access for our companions. But some of these are a welcome change. 2 additional S2s is pretty sweet
