What I don't understand about "UP" is how is EL AL suppose to make a profit essentially running a low cost division with the high operating costs of a legacy carrier? Sure, they might be able to get more pax, and compete on a pax basis with LCC's on these specific routes, but yields will likely be so low that turning a profit will be next to impossible.
