"Believe me execs would love to raise ticket prices, but its the low cost carriers that are at fault"!
That is interesting, since I kept reading that NWA was always the carrier that would not go along with the raises.
Secondly, plenty of LCCs have higher fares than the legacies, compare SWA vs the legacies on many routes, jetblue vs Song etc. So I am kind of perplexed by your statement?
