OK, I guess I have too! 
Virgin Blue (SYD-BNE roundtrip)
Aerolineas Argentinas (AEP-IGR roundtrip)
Almost forgot: Mesa Airlines/United Express (IAD-ORF roundtrip). (I've flown United Express before, but this was my first time on Mesa-operated flights.)
Ted (IAD-TPA roundtrip, IAD-MIA, MIA-ORD). OK, Ted is really just United, minus the premium cabin(s) and minus any status recognition.
But I thought I'd throw that in there. Heretofore, I had managed to avoid Ted. Still beats an RJ, at least.

Just two new ones for me:
Air France (ATL-CDG-MXP)
Delta Connection/Atlantic Southeast Airlines (PFN-ATL, ATL-PFN, ATL-MLB) - I have flown other DL Connection flights, but this was the first time on ASA.

LH, LH commuter line (City Express or something like that) and sort of LOT (a codeshare on LH metal), but my major new airline experience is the acquisition of elite status on BA.

Two
TZ ATA
YR Scenic Airlines
I could add a third if this counts:
YV Mesa Airlines operated by Air Midwest; I've flown on Air Midwest before as a contract carrier for US Airways Express (US code)
