They try this LCC mess across the Pacific and i guarantee you, the competition will eat thier lunch, print it! Long gone are the days where people will pay a high price for piss poor service when the competition has a better product for the same or less price.Stupid, or just willing to try something that worked 20 and 30 years ago?
During the 80's, People Express -- those 747's from EWR to LGW and BRU were consistently full. Likewise for the flights from LAX to HNL and PPT.
Likewise for Sir Freddie Laker's Skytrain in the 70's. It wasn't load factors that killed 'em -- it was predatory behavior from BA, PA, and TW.
So, I wouldn't write off the idea of trans-oceanic LCC service just yet.
