Not sure it's any different than what they do with ticket prices every chance they gèt though. They don't typically announce new fees/increases or reductions in availability of low-fare classes. Guess the relentless demand for paid tickets in the face of reduced capacity and price increases has emboldened the SkyMiles team to try it too.
