There have been a number of aircraft types over time which have been pretty much directly competitive, and airlines make the choice to have one or the other.

But which US airlines had BOTH ......

a) Tristar and DC-10.
Delta, Eastern, American Transair and Hawaiian Air

b) 707 and DC-8.
Off the top of my head...Pan Am, Northwest, World (DC-8-61), Arrow (DC-8-62). I'm sure there are a few more...

I'll save the others for someone else...
