September 24, 201213 yr I was just thinking about some of the airlines that I have flown on that are no longer around (due to bankruptcy or merger) as well as aircraft "types" I will probably never fly on again. I thought it would be interesting to see which ones you have been on as well... 1. Western Airlines 2. Pan AM 3. Republic Airlines 4. Braniff Airlines 5. Mexicana Airlines 6. Eastern Airlines 7. PSA 8. Hughes Airwest 9. Northwest/Northwest Orient 10. ATA 11. National 12. Continental 1. 707 2. 727 3. 737-200 4. DC8 5. DC9 6. DC10 7. Fairchild Commuter? 8. Saab Commuter

September 24, 201213 yr Commercial Member Spanair, flight from Helsinki to Gran Canaria and back with A321. From aircraft types probably MD-11, after KLM retires them I don't think we are going to see them in pax service for long. Flew one flight with MD-11 when I was like 5 years old, from Cyprus to Helsinki with Finnair. // And actually I think I could possibly also count Finncomm, it is nowadays owned by Flybe and called Flybe Nordic and has a new livery too.
September 24, 201213 yr I flew on Canadian Airlines ... that was in march 2001.. CYWG - CYUL. no clue what airplane that was.. I think an airbus
September 24, 201213 yr BEA BAC 1-11 and S61-N TWA Tristar Monarch (they're still around) Boeing 720 ...
September 24, 201213 yr Eastern US Air Canadian Royal Canada 3000 Jetsgo Wardair Continental Sorry no good list of the aircraft except I do remember a few Fokker F50 and 100's. Bottom line is if you are a Canadian airline and you want to stay out of bankruptcy, best keep me from flying on your planes. Mark CYYZ
