Its kind of ironic that you think being a bit cheaper is not important to United. You know they removed the option of PassPlus customers to pay for the contract or add additional funds via a credit card? It has to be done by wire or check. Why? Because its a bit cheaper for United. I guess United can care about pennies but not be bothered by customers who try to do the same?
Your thinking is not really solid here. Of course UA cares about the margin it gets on tickets, so it will implement fees and conditions to influence the per ticket revenue.
It is a separate issue that I'm pointing out. When customers line up to buy those tickets at the price you have now set, losing a few customers who choose a cheaper option doesn't matter because there are plenty of others to take their place. (up to the point your customers begin to decrease to the capacity of the buckets you're offering)
Not all volume is the most profitable volume.
