What's the weather like up there? I hope it's not slick.
I'm surprised to see this from a new aircraft, but I guess it can happen to any.

Touched down, it was right landing gear door that was left open.
Great job Pilots and crew.

That's happened a few times before on the 717, TWA had two incidents of the main door gear not closing. Atleast it wasn't a serious problem and everyone was safe.
Yes, I recall one happeneing at STL, took off, gear door would not close and returned back to STL.Quote:

Ironically it was Midwest's newest aircraft, ship 924, only 2 months old.
