Answer 1

There are a lot of carriers who have done that. Allegeny Airlines, Midwest Air are two that come to mind.

Answer 2

By no frills I assume you also mean LCC. Understand that the tow are uniquely different in their business operations, but most of the times a "no-frills" airline is an LCC, but not all LCCs are no-frills.

Umm, to answer your question - here in the U.S. we can consider Independence Air which attempted to operate CRJs in an LCC venture, but were unsuccessfull. They did not attempt to go "full-service" but decided to use larger aircraft which failed in the end. Also, in the U.S. we had Midway which failed a few years ago. Also, Delta experimented with Song, and in many ways Song did not fail as a carrier in that the planes were integrated back to the Delta fleet and then the services from Song adopted to mainline Delta services.

Answer 3

Independent airlines( iFly), very good service in east coast and once expanded to west coast and forced united, usairways to cut fare and increase flights, finally they lost a lot of money and went bankrupt in 2 years.
