Anyone remember New York Air? Started out as pretty successful competition to the Eastern Air Shuttle to LaGuardia from Boston and Washington, making a splash by handing out free bagels and cream cheese to its passengers at a time when the Eastern Shuttle handed out squat. Probably single-handedly led to the free coffee, soda and magazines that those shuttles now provide. Unfortunately, NY Air deteriorated badly toward the end, and I believe it ultimately "merged" with Continental, but I believe the word "merge" was used mean that Continental bought a few of the assets and employed maybe a few lucky NY Air personnel, and the rest of New York Air landed in the ash heap of my vague and uncertain memory.
