In many cases, airplanes are flying with very few empty seats. There is no need for the airlines to give away empty seats to priceline at bargain basement prices, they know they will probably be able to sell those seats themselves.

Until capacity increases quite a bit, the pool of seats priceline will have to draw from will remain pretty slim, certainly not like it use to be.
