Delta/NWA has had those DTW to TPA/MCO rates forever and they've never gone away. Thats' not quite the issue here.

It's the NY market that's being questioned here. The $140 all in rates that used to be had from MCO/TPA to JFK/LGA have not been had in awhile. The lowest I've paid, was $190 two months ago for that route - but honestly ,I havent seen anything less in years...which is surprising considering that Jet Blue and other airlines have offered much less. Its anybody guess, but I sure would like to see it back to those levels sometime.
