To better specify my statements so far, maybe the scenario you describe here is possible in markets other than in the Scandinavian area, but here their chances of success are running out as we speak. Most scandinavians will not tolerate this behavior from DY any longer. The relatively stronger buying power and higher expectations of people in Scandinavia, combined with the fact that available seats on network carriers from Scandinavia to DY's typical destinations are growing more abundant, and getting increasingly inexpensive, are already severely jeopardizing their chances at being able to steadily run a profitable operation, within this market at least. They cannot sell every seat for the lowest price either, if they want to be profitable.
