first of all, thank you for the redacted version of the still-at-large questions!! MUCH easier to read and navigate

I guess 25 years is the threshold for "vintage" in airliner-speak, so the venerable 737-200 would seem to be the jet in question since it entered revenue service in 1968 and we are looking for BNA-PBI service in 1994

irrespective of our esteemed Quizmeister's typed Texas drawl, "cheap fare" of course points pretty directly to Southwest

Identify both airlines as well as the aircraft that each airline operates.
I will apply the second logic step here as well to one of the answers ... Southwest, probably a 737-300

as to the second, how about ATA with a 727-200
