Misrepresenting the data here a bit, aren't we?

EWR is more expensive; LGA is less because of competition. For December 15-17 it is $230 to LGA ($212 on AA and $225 on DL) and $605 to EWR. Either CO or UA can issue the tickets on either route; it isn't that one carrier is more expensive than the other.
