And yeah, that's kind of cheesy faring. You can route lower business fares by adding a stop, and can route p.s. with discount economy (must be an inventory issue if it's pricing B/M). But not a nice problem to have..
Thanks. The married segments are preventing any economy lower than M, which is having a knock-on effect on the discount P fares (since most are UPs, the 'discount' business is a BUP even with two stops) - still ~$900 one-way for a 2 stop itinerary. Insane.
