Just a quick question, tried to look it up in the pilot promotion doc but didn't find it.

I'm rated for the MD-88 and MD-90 but for some reason I am not rated for a b717? I believe that I met all of the requirements but don't have it. Any help would be greatly helpful.

Request additional ratings for the MD-88 in the pilot center. The 717 rating may have come after you took your check ride.

What if I am a F/O in the MD-88 working on Captain and hold other type ratings why cannot I get the 717 type rating??

Because you have to have at least 5 legs in your current program to request additional ratings.
