Interesting. May be they are dropping the hammer on us in LGA. I too did not find any date where we are the cheapest on that route. Same for FLL-ORD. Delta is matching our price out of FLL on the LGA route. On the other hand:
FLL-ATL us 73.90 Delta next with 126.90
FLL-BWI us 53.90 Tranny next with 68.90
... and that is typical.
If Delta is matching or beating our price, I guarantee you, they are taking a loss. We are tiny. We can't get into a war with Delta. This is nothing new. May be next for sale are the LGA slots. They are worth a ton of money, and we can use that money for expansion. We pulled out of DCA, sold the slots to SW, went to BWI. Sounds good to me.
