Why has PHL become so expensive?

ATL-PHL has become an expensive route regardless of the date and time. Every single flight has been priced at a flat 162 bucks if you are at least a week away. I went looking in February and same deal.

Luckily, I am in FL for work next week and my ticket from PBI to PHL via one stop in ATL is actually cheaper at 114. That's because the other airlines are priced in the low 100s from PBI-PHL.

What I am wondering is why all the airlines are so expensive to PHL even in the lower traffic days. And Airtran's pricing seems very static for the next month. Friday evening tickets cost as much as Saturday tickets in any given week. You would think Friday , Sunday, and Mnday tickets would be more than the other days.
