Convincing consumers to pay more for your product than a competitors is not conning someone.

In the presentation by David Neeleman recently rebroadcast on C-SPAN, he boasted that JetBlue enjoys a revenue premium over Delta on NYC to Florida routes. So people are clearly choosing JetBlue even though it's more expensive sometimes than other airlines.

Heck, if I lived in NYC, I'd probably fly B6 too.
