We needed to find a flight for someone same route, and American Airlines wanted $3,000 for their flight, they are nuts. Finally found one for $1,500 - still nuts. And you can fly for $200 to Amsterdam...LOL...
Some of these airlines need to get their head out of the backside in their pricing. It obviously has nothing to do with the cost of flying and all with the monopoly of certain routes, hubs, and airline gougery.
