BZGuy Posted November 27, 2010 Share #36 Posted November 27, 2010 I have a feeling its a 767... Too lazy to go search on a.net. Think smaller. This other jet was Boeing's most succesful aircraft until the 737 showed up on the scene. IIRC,just about every major US airline operated this aircraft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, this is what happens when you don't do your homework. I had that thought in mind but I figured that it would have been the MDs since Boeing owns them now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that thought in mind but I figured that it would have been the MDs since Boeing owns them now. On a side note, SWA did operate DC-9's and MD-80's for a very brief moment when they took over some airline back in the day. I can't remember the name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan Posted November 28, 2010 Share #47 Posted November 28, 2010 I'll pass. I'll take you up on that then. Three part question: Define the term "legacy carrier"; Name all legacy carriers in existence; and Name one airline frequently mistaken for a legacy carrier. You have to get all three right, and if you get even one part out of the three wrong I'm not telling you which one it is... this is easy if you know your stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An airline that had established interstate routes by the time of the route liberalization which was permitted by the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and was thus directly affected by that act. 2.
