Everything else is oversell and $1,200 for o/w.
Walkup fares have always been expensive as part of the overall pricing model of the scheduled airlines. Your point? For last minute walk-up fares, that's actually the same as it was 15 years ago price-wise.

Adding capacity seems to be doing them well.
Right now, but historically, airlines in Canada, AC being no exception, have over-extended themselves at the most inopportune times.
