717 is a good choice. No differences, all domestic ops, pretty simple operation, and seniority comes really fast, with all the overtime you could possibly want. Don't look at just the pay rates. With a year of seniority on the 717 you will be relatively senior compared to some other fleets. With that seniority comes great benefits. Holidays off, first pick of vacations, first crack at green slips, etc.

Off subject a little. How do you guys/gals post those funny green smileys? The ones from my iPhone don't display the same on the laptop.
Edit: Disregard, found it.

A Captain recently told me, you can make as little or as much as you want on any airplane at Delta. You don't have to bid the biggest to make the most. Granted it also depends on how much you want to work for that money and availability of opentime or green slips. Point is don't just look at pay rates.

One man's opinion. Go to the plane that will give you seniority the fastest - probably the 717 or MD - especially if you are retiring military and have already seen the world. I passed on the ER and took a 717. Awesome decision in my case. The good news that it's only a 1 year lock for now.

I'll bet you a months pay (at either rate) that you can make more flying the 727 than the ER. There are ATL guys flying out of base green slips almost every day in NYC. 1 green slip day more than makes up the difference. In NYC, I get 3-4 green slip days a month and could have more if I wanted to work that much.
