I don't think looking at 3 different dates in a single market provides an accurate assessment of a yield management strategy.

My only point was that Delta is not limiting BE fares to markets where it competes with Spirit (as you incorrectly claimed, several times). Beyond that, I don't really care about the similarities or lack thereof between the various BE fares. I don't think this will impact many business travelers as the fares are being excluded from their portals.
