At these prices?
Either WN's costs are lower (they are, but are they making money at these prices?).
Or this is the so called 'loss leader' that they think they need to complete their best in class intra-California route network. To cause people to not think about anyone else when they book, knowing WN has them covered. (
hear that UA?)
