The Mallows measure is measure on permutations which was introduced by Mallows in connection with ranking problems in statistics. Under this measure, the probability of a permutation π is proportional to qInv(π) where q is a positive parameter and Inv(π) is the number of inversions in π. We consider the length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) of two independently permutations drawn according to μn,q and μn,q' for some q,q' >0. We show that when 0
