Standard fare cycle model in sheltered markets:

1. Population complains network carriers offer no affordable fares.
2. Frontier-like challenger enters markets with low fares. Network carriers match.
3. Travelers book network carriers, fly cheap.
4. Frontier-like challenger retreats. Network carrier fares rise.
5. Population complains network carriers offer no affordable fares.
