Here's a video tribute to the fallen airlines of years past.

Quite sad.

Midwest.

Between the rising oil price and the continuous bad weather hitting Milwaukee I think we are in deep trouble.

Sorry Braniff, PanAm, TWA etc weren't included in initial post, I was reflecting on this years losses... 2008. And thanks for the insult John Doe but until the merger is completed Northwest still exists however I can assure you I've seen the news in the last 3 months. Geez some guys need to lighten up!

 

[FlyWolf]

Flydaplane, I am sure you know by now some of the winning personalities we have here at FI, usually if you ignore them they will go back and hide in their mom's basement again.

Braniff, Pan AM , and TWA are thanking you for not including them in this huge mess. They are saying see you, wouldn't want to be you.

Sun Country may be a good bet. I doubt they can survive with these fuel prices.

What happened to Reliant? Falcon jets, right?

Bought out by Kalitta Charters

Bought out by Kalitta Charters

No Reliant wasn't 'bought out'.

It went TANGO UNIFORM because it ended up being run by a bunch of high-school drop-outs from Belleville after Rick cashed out with the so called Employee Ownership Program.

Connie bought the certificate, one DC9, and some Falcons at the banks fire sale.

Sad story.

Ok so it wasn't "bought out," it was purchased. Call it what you will.
One man's junk is another man's treasure. Or maybe it's the other way around.

You deserve to fly lears for Connie.

That would be awesome!, I hear she is a really nice lady.
