Well lets call a spade a spade. Delta is doing this because the New York Times published an article criticizing delta for charging $1300 one way or something super high on the LGA-DCA shuttle and they call out delta specifically.
This is a PR move, that article has been well discussed in the tri state area and local NY media has been reporting what people think is price gauging on the route too. I know the way airlines price so I don't think its price gauging but there have been a lot of reports in the NY local media on this, delta is trying to do some damage control. I am not saying its wrong I think its a good move this has been a lot of coverage but they did this for damage control that's reality
