Late 80's, throughout the 90's and early 2000's - flew with the following airlines:
Bradley First Air - had never heard of them before but friendly f/a's.
Royal - super friendly and helpful f/a's.
Air Canada - least friendly f/a's.
Skyservice - tiny seats, packed in like sardines, no leg room at all! Most uncomfortable flight ever!!!
Canada 3000 - worst food ever!
Supposedly it was Sheppard's Pie but everyone was referring to it as Mystery Meat and wouldn't eat it!
Canadian Airlines - excellent f/a's and best meal ever! Will never have an onboard meal like this again - salad, bun & butter, filet mignon, baked potato, veggies, dessert, etc. Plus they served champagne and orange juice on morning flights!
Jetsgo MD-83 ... excellent, super comfortable seats! - 2 wide seats, LOTS of leg room and great view out window for both passengers! Also, great f/a's - including DA.C'er yyzboy - my f/a on my last Jetsgo flight.
Nice guy!
