It's not just LUAL, there is something about that airplane that seems to invoke a lack of rational thinking at times. Ask the old NWA guys and they will tell you the same thing. The 747 lead them down similar paths and often times made for some poor negotiating results. God help us if we ever get a Super Jumbo on the property, someone will want this uniform to set them apart!
