I'm sorry,"Compatible fleets with LCC"?
Really? UAL has 20 -/+ 744's, 50-ish 777's and another 30 -/+ 763's and LCC has first run 762's from PI that aren't true ER frames and maybe what, 15 Airbus 330's?
I seem to remember in 2000 US Air crews making dopey comments about "Getting their 747 manuals" and "Flying to Sydney".
No way in hell UAL or AMR pull LCC into the lifeboat.
