There were probably multiple slogans, but I recall the following:
Eastern: "Fly Eastern, number 1 to the sun."
Braniff: "When you got it, flaunt it." (I think Mel Brooks wrote that line for "The Producers" before Braniff adopted it as their slogan.)

Air Florida - Fly a little kindness. Now Everone Can Go. Fastest Growing Airline in America.
ATA - On ATA, You're on Vacation
ValuJet -
America West - Lower fares, fewer restrictions
Midway (two incarnations...one based in Chicago, the other at RDU)
EOS
Skybus - Now Everyone Can Fly
PSA also used "The World's Friendliest Airline"
Eastern - We have to earn our wings every day. Also, The Wings of Man.
As for slogans, take a look at this Database of Airline Sloans. It lists some current and some defunct airlines. Here's another one that's a bit shorter.
Take a look here for a pretty comprehensive global list of defunct airlines with the years they operated. No slogans though.

Can we please move this? This OP has been posting some non-CO related garbage.
