This is an interesting further development. For years I have been pointing out that the so-called "Legacy" airlines should work harder to differentiate themselves from the locos. Now, lo and behold, locos are moving, slowly but surely, towards offering legacy service - at a cost of course. The logical conclusion is that the aircraft will be reconfigured to have larger seats, that recline and where free food and drinks are offered, which will be located, probably, at the front of the aircraft, while the no-pay cattle class remain at the back end. And maybe even there will be a "frequent slumming" (sorry, "flyer") programme to reward serial masochists?

Seriously though, I wonder how far FR will go down this road? It is more than time that flag/legacy carriers woke up to this and did something about it in a more meaningful fashion.
