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?
1- WHBM unsurprisingly provided a far better and far more complete description of PSA than I could have done
2- I believe it started out "make a reservation, pay on board" ... not sure how long that paradigm survived, and I don't remember what scenario applied to my one trip with them (EWR-BAL, 737-100 N416PE in June 1983)
