Default Gone To That Great Airport In The Sky

This is so sad.

Airlines gone to that great airport in the sky - seattlepi.com

I'm still so glad my late father used to collect the silverware Northwest Orient was using even in Economy on the flights across the Pacific.

Interesting that slide #4 is not a Northwest airplane. Which, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with the airline industry. A company should not be able to masquerade as another.

I guess Skybus didn't rate with Air Ghana or Air Afrique. Hopefully, there are a couple more that will join that pantheon sooner than later.

Didn't mention Sir Freddie Laker, and his "no frills" flights across the atlantic.

PeoplExpress didn't make the list, either. Nor did NYAir. Ah, for the days of the "Red Apple, White Apple, Brown Apple" call signs.
