Greetings, all. I'm a close follower of this thread, but rarely post because most of the questions are out of my league.
Today, I want to focus on People Express. The following questions are presumably easy to find via the internet, but please try to answer them without help from google/Wikipedia. I've also crafted them to be subjective, so they might not have "right" answers.
1. Do you regard PE as the first LCC? If not, what others come to mind?
2. What was unusual about their ticketing process?
3. What was their flagship route?
4. Which airline absorbed them in the end and how did this deal affect the acquiring party in particular and the airline industry in general?
5. If you flew PE from BOS to LAX in 1983, where would you connect (obvious) and what were the two airplane types?
