In response to "I care. I didn't realize many, if any, were still flying. Looks like Delta still has the most. -- nm" by zunk takes things literally

Delta by far has the most. Hawaiian and Qantaslink (Australia) have some, that's it. There weren't that many 717s ever made

155 total were built. Delta has like 90something of those.

The very first 717 was delivered to an airline in 1998, the very last was delivery in 2004. So the 717s are 19-25 years. Some planes fly for 30 years so I'm not surprised the 717 is still around, but they won't be around in 5-10 years I figure (they aren't very fuel efficient, but Delta got them on the cheap I think)
