    This was most certainly one of my favourite videos to make, as the 717 has always been a favourite aircraft of mine! Make sure to watch to the end to find out the TRUTH on the retirement rumours, and if they should be true or not!

Hopefully VH-YQW (the final 717 ever made) will be kept in decent condition, the engines will probably be sent to the US but the aircraft will stay here down under to train crew at Brisbane.

    Man, the Boeing 717
    This little dude is one of the last of its kind, well 2 ( McDonnell Douglas, and the DC-9 Family ).
    One of the last still in service, the T-tail, the rear mounted engines. Ngl, it’s gonna leave a hole in our hearts when it’s gone.
    Most of the MD-80 Family, and all of the DC-9s are all out of commission, the JT8Ds, the RB715s they’ll stop singing.
    Well, The aircraft wouldn’t be forgotten after its retirement along with the rest of the DC-9s and the MD-80s. I wonder if Delta would preserve one of them to be next to 675. 🤔 (N675MC)

It was a comfortable 2 hour journey on the shuttle, which I thought was for Northeast flights but for some reason LaGuardia to O’Hare flights on Delta are part of the shuttle service. I do remember it took off quickly from LaGuardia after it turned to the runway which an LA based plane spotter calls “Turn n Burn”

    Can't believe such a beautiful aircraft the 717 is being retired and is planning to be replaced with the Airbus a220 fleet ( cuz a220 is more fuel efficient )
    rip 717 💔

    I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. Man, I am jealous. I've been in Michigan before, but literally in the middle of nowhere. It was really boring.

    Luckily for me. The 717 flies daily to my airport from 3 different places with 2 being regular. All I think 2-3 times daily. Heard the A220 is replacing them for Delta though so I wonder if we’ll get those or the CRJ-900 (hopefully A220)

    I'm 39 years old, recently laid off, and in a new phase of my life. What are my best options for steady income given that I have 425K saved for retirement, 10K in an HSA, and a property that might bring in an additional 200K?

      It’s reasonable to consider getting a financial advisor now, but delaying retirement might be a wiser choice

      Is it time for a career shift or should I consolidate my investments into a single account? If I go for the latter, how do I do it right, and what could be the drawbacks? Plus, with a $200K property sale on the horizon, should I combine my investments or diversify them across different markets?

      These are crucial questions for a financial planner. I met mine at a NYSE summit, and with her help, my wife and I reallocated our $1.7M portfolio between a traditional IRA and a brokerage account. She’s been making investments with our approval and has helped us recover twice our losses. We’re holding steady and carefully navigating more markets
