Sorry, couldn't resist it :-))

UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport.
They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece,
arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building.

Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let
the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump
on again, and so on ...

Mac Airlines
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look neat
and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you
are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, that you really
don't want to know, and that everything will be done for you without your
ever having to know, so just shut up.

Windows Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage
check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the
air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

Windows NT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes
out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.

Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their
own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways
themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the
ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you
board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of
the seat-HOWTO.html. You take the seat to a location of your choice and
bolt it into the deck, per the instructions. Once settled, the fully
adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time
without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell
customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say
is, "Jesus, you had to do what with the seat? ... "
