Off the top of my head, and I hope I’m not getting it wrong - Lufthansa / KLM / Air France / Aer Lingus / BA / Virgin.
Not sure about Virgin. I thought they bonded these days.
So nothing has really changed since the old days. Looks like it's just the flag carrier of your own country if you want to avoid a bond, and the trade-off is to accept a bond if you want a more flexible job with a quicker command. For me personally I've never wanted a job in the flag carrier of the UK, just because of the command time and the requirement of a London-basing for short-haul.
