So, what is your point? We have a market economy here in the USA.... would you prefer the govenmernt fix prices for airline tickets? </font>
No, nothing that silly.
I think the airlines have allowed their premium cabins to become cost prohibitive. That fact is having a bigger impact on profitability than people trading coupons on FT.
Case in point: A "C" class ticket to LHR cost my company about $2800-3200 three years ago. Today it is over $5800. Guess what? My company doesn't fly employees in paid "C" to Europe anymore. Its doubtful that we'll ever go back...
