This will be interesting. What aircraft (narrow body mainline) do you fly on the most? E-Jets are omitted since they "swing both ways" so to speak. Survey is based on US Domestic Travel, and aircraft currently in operation on US Airlines.

I'm missing a couple of flights from the early 90s, and a handful before 1986, but this is what I have. I'm including 11 qualifying flights (DC9, 732, 321) between the US and Central Canada (Quebec/Ontario), most of them on the EWR-YUL sector.

DC-9: 11 (all -30 series)
737 Classic: 11 (2,3,4,5 all represented)
737NG: 7 (all -700)
752: 6
M80: 6 (-82 and -88)
727: 4
320: 4
319: 3
717: 3
DC8: 2
321: 1

Total DC9 family: 20
Total 737 family: 18
Total A320 family: 8

Super 80s followed by the 757. Not thrilled to see more 757s in use on longer flights such as US-Europe and US-Hawaii.

The narrow body I've flown the most on is missing from your list - Boeing 707...

In order (based on memory):
1. B737 (300, 500, 700, 800)- Appx 55 legs
2. MD80 Series- Appx 25 legs
3. B757 (200)- Appx 15 legs

I've always tried to route using different aircraft thru hubs; as an example
in winter '07 I routed STL-ATL-FLL-ATL-STL and picked a flight set that
offered this equipment: CR7-763-757-E170. As I've taken to flying SWA
more often lately, my 737 count has jumped noticeably, whereas my 757
or MadDog count have both atrophied...

Cheers!

Well since i'm young I dont remember many flights but I know I flew whatever company my father was working for at that time (mostly U.S. Airways then jetBlue) Now its whatever airline is cheapest. Here is my count as I remember.
A320: 8
757: 3
A319: 3
MD-83: 1 (most recent flight)
737: Unknown but more then 0
Am now trying to fly more on MD-80's and trying to get a leg on a DC-9 though I like the service I got on my AA flight so thats what i'm mostly going with now AA.

707s are not in regular service with US Airlines anymore.

I have alot of time in the babtbus fleet. It is probably even with 737's though because every weekend I used to fly CAl SRQ-EWR roundtrip pretty much. I think Airbus with US wins out though.

Yea yea I know i'm ranting but I really want some hours in the sky. I'm lacking on alot of these models and I want time. Mainly I just want to see other places as i've only been to West VA, Hawaii, PA, and FL. (PA wasnt flying) I feel so left out :(
