Ah, I think I have it with regard to.....

15) TranStar, which was formerly Muse Air operating MD-80s, DC-9-50s and maybe even one DC-9-30 if I remember correctly.

Southwest Airlines acquired Muse Air and then changed the name to TranStar. Lamar Muse was formerly with Southwest but then started his own airline. WN subsequently shut Transtar down.

BTW, I flew Muse Air several times between California (LAX), Texas (AUS & HOU), Louisiana (MSY) and Florida (MIA). It was a great airline!
