Bei airliners.net habe ich diesen Artikel gefunden. Darin heißt es, dass Boeing die Produktion der 717 einstellen wird und damit 750 Jobs streichen wird. Die Fertigungsanlage in Long Beach wird geschlossen. Die letzte 717 wird Mitte 2006 die Fertigungshallen verlassen.

The aerospace giant will close the Long Beach plant that manufactures the 717, which traces its lineage to the McDonnell-Douglas Co., once orders for 18 of the planes are filled, according to an internal memo obtained by the Press-Telegram.

The last 717 will likely roll off the moving assembly line in mid-2006, Pat McKenna, vice president and general manager of the 717 program, wrote in a memo to employees.
