Once again: why would American (and other airlines) do this if it didn't cause people to think that they would be getting a lower price than they actually are?
I agree with you that it is obmoxious but not fraudlent. Not a good idea. But I disagree with those who think we need the gummint to prevent obnoxious marketing. If they do, though, they could start with those commercials for "Head On".
