I wonder how they determine the price to offer. It certainly isn't by flight length. And they've shot themselves in the foot after selling it for $10 on one of the longest transcons if they expect me to pay twice that on a shorter one.
It is from my experience dynamic. From this article it appears they price it based on anticipated demand:
