What commercial jets do you think shouldn't be operating scheduled flights in 2014?

Let's only talk about ones that are still used in regular passenger operations (not cargo and no vintage planes like the DC-3).

I'll start the list off.

Boeing 727 (In service with Iran Air)
Boeing 737-200 (In service with First Air and Canadian North)
Boeing 747-200 (In service with Iran Air)
Boeing 747SP (In service with Iran Air and SyrianAir)

Airbus A300B2 (In service with Iran Air)

McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (In service with Delta )
McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (In service with Biman Bangladesh)

EDIT:
Delta retired their DC-9's in January 2014 and Biman retired their DC-10's in February 2014. Looks like I haven't been reading the news lately .
