And yes, I'm serious.
Arguably we are there already. More or less. In ways that do not affect too much the basic airline pricing model.

Allowing people who can buy relatively expensive Y fare but not (even cheaper) Z fares to get the same results.

Pricing latitude fares roughly like Z fares.

The "FF" program has more or less turned into a revenue maximization program. Roughly what you are asking for.
