Just goes to show that the LCCs have absolutely ruined any sense of rationality regarding the cost of air travel. There is a reason why the LCCs are going out of business and going bankrupt first. They lived by ridiculously out-of-whack ticket prices. Now they will die by those fares. Adios.
How can I be sympathetic when these pilots, by accepting ridiculous wages, help undercut the true cost of air travel? I'm not.
SWA is the obvious exception due to very shrewd hedging.
