And it sounds like a good business move to forstall any pesky consumer claims of unfair trading practices.

Of course in the old days, supplements such as YR were simply called-- the "fare."
You're right. There is no reason to separate out the fuel surcharge, it is part of the fare. When you book on AA.com, you won't even notice it.
