How many airlines have you flown with over the years?

When I am trying to think of the flights I have had, it's scary that I have to try and think so much about it. I always love flying, but am surprised how faded my memories of the various flights I have had are...

Air Atlantis - 2 flights - airline closed by parent, TAP
Airlines of Carriacou - 2 flights - I think now part of SVGAir
UK - Air UK - 2 flights - now part of KLM
AMM - Air 2000 - 2 flights - now part of TUI
BD - bmi - 1 flight
BA - British Airways - 9 flights
BA - British Airways Express (Loganair) - 6 flights - now FlyBE
U2 - easyJet - 7 flights
XLA - Excel Airways - 2 flights - renamed XL and now bankrupt
BE - FlyBE - 1 flight
GO - Go - 2 flights
FI - Icelandair - 4 flights
JMC - JMC Air - 2 flights - now ThomasCookAirlines
LC - Loganair - 2 flights - now FlyBe
FR - Ryanair - 14 flights+
VS - Virgin Atlantic - 2 flights

Nerdy. Thats why I love it!

Airlines come and go as does the VC to fund them. BUT airplanes and people tend not to just 'die' after a few months or years. It is interesting to see which operators use a aircraft and crew fly for over a span of years.

I know some of FlyI's airplanes are only four to five years old and on the third operator.

Ok..let me see if I can remember all the codes lmao
