Do you miss flying on any defunct airlines?
Ever since deregulation, countless airlines have came and went. National, Braniff, Pan Am, Eastern, TWA, Northwest, Continental, CP Air, Canadian Airlines, Jetsgo, etc you name it.
Usually I just give an indifferent shrug when I'm told another airline has disappear, its just the way airline business work these days. But sometimes I wonder whether I actually miss flying on those defunct airlines. Come to think of it, I kinda actually do. The airline that I missed flying on was...PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines). I was only a little kid when I flew on it, but I remember it well, that goofy smile on the nose of their planes, the warm and friendly flight attendants and the generally laid-back atmosphere.
So, do you miss flying on any defunct airlines?

I miss Northwest. I miss TWA a little.
I had a very memorable flight on a TriStar BAe 146 flight LAX-SFO. There were fewer than a dozen passenger. That's not quite a record. Once I was ticketed on a flight with only one other passenger and another time I was the only passenger.
