Here's another hint: the airline in question is not one of the other air carriers you have mentioned.
10- actually I guessed a standard 727 (-24. not -224), but I'll take the point anyway ... so which airline was bringing F service into their system aboard the 72S? the only one I can think of might be USAir, who had started to expand westward from their Pittsburgh (PIT) hub (I didn't think they were in PHX that early, but ok ...)

11- mumble mumble again ... was gonna say "Northwest, Chicago (ORD), DC-10" but "widebody" would have probably appeared in the original question ... AA, DFW, 707
