Have You Ridden Aboard The Alphabet?

As founder of that other topic that CrimsonNL seems to dig so much, I am entitled to present this related question and not be accused of copycathood:

Using the IATA designators of the airlines you've taken, have you completed the alphabet?

I've only been aboard 18 different airlines in my 38 years; there are many holes to fill in:

A: AA, AC, AS
B: B6
C: CO
D: DL
E: EA
F: F9

H: HP

N: N7, NW
O:
P:
Q:
R:
S:
T: TW, TZ
U: UA, US
V:
W: WN
X:
Y: YX
Z:

So I guess I'm fixin' to take G4, IB, JL or JM, KQ (so much more exotic than KE), LH, O....hmmm, can't think of an "O" airline offhand, P....nope....QX (though I'm always confused about how/whether that's a different airline from AS), R....SK, VX or VS...

Jeez I do not seem to have very many IATA codes stored in the top of my head!!

Perhaps the two-foot snowfall today cleared them out

I don't mean anything. I was just worried that some people might see this thread, posted so soon after the "...Landed at the Alphabet 2010 Edition" and think that I was ripping off the idea. I might have been worrying over nothing...
