I understand that inventories don't always line up between carriers, but when B6 added SEA-BOS mint to the schedule at $549, I checked the competition's fares for an April redeye. DL wanted something like $440 or $480 for F for the same timeframe, and AS wanted $700-800. Needless to say, I passed on the EQMs.
