When I was looking for a 100 seater for my airline, I looked at the 717 and the 737-600. I would have to wait years for the 737, compared to just 4 months for the 717. I liked the picture for the 737 and thought it looked better than the 717. I didn't like the picture for the 717 for some reason and was leaning towards getting the 737. I know it's kinda silly. :laugh:
In the end, I chose to get the 717. Shortly after, I looked at some other pictures of it on airliners.net and saw it looked way different than I thought. I think some of the pictures in the game don't do the planes justice. :-\

Well, I'll agree with ya there... ;)
I think the 717 is an attractive airplane, particularly in AirTran colors :)

I refuse to buy the 737 200adv as it is in RyanAir colours and as it looks so tatty! :P
Uh..RyanAir?
The 717 is an attractive plane...it looks so...*word to describe it*
I would buy one, but the Jet fuel is too expensive for me to run it :P
No I'll be serious, if I had a few billion I'd use some of it for a 717
717 is one awesome aircraft!

I would choose it over the 737, but it lacks in efficiency and the 737s fleet commonality is very useful.
The DHC-5 picture is horrible! The a/c is good and would fit in quite nicely into my network planning. But I cannot buy it with that pic!!!!! :'(

I didn't say the 717 is an ugly plane, I said the picture makes it look not good. It kinda looks like the space shuttle. When I saw other pictures of it, I LOVED the way it looked!
