“Fly Oceanic,”…[pause]… Not!

If you watch LOST and like it (as I do,) you know that the flight they were in and crashed was Oceanic flight 815.
I was watching a movie, “Executive Decision” which is a typical terrorists-hijack-airplane film (and not a very good one.) The plane they hijack in that movie is Oceanic flight 343! So I got curious. A quick search on Google turned up oceanic-air.com!
Right on the front page it says that the airline has gone bankrupt and is closed. This was quite a shock for me! The I noticed that it says that they went bankrupt following the incidents following the accident of flight 815! And also I noticed that their logo looks familiar. To sum it up, the website is a humorous publicity act to promote LOST.
It turns out that, according to this page, the Oceanic airline is the canonical airline-in-trouble used in the film business!
