I use data from BTS with my on algorithm filtering out redempted tickets. They provide the average fare of top market share carrier and lowest fare carrier. My basically match their number, so I'm pretty sure of my numbers. Just to give you an example.

BOS-SFO in 2016Q1, pre-mint
AA 1228 327.21
B6 5618 280.38
VX 5503 328.13
UA 10293 401.18
2017 Q2.
DL 2226 307.56
B6 5970 384.69
VX 5855 325.49
UA 15968 357.64
2017 Q3 - after UA added lie flats and DL entered market

UA 14250 350.68

B6 6234 307.55
VX 5665 263.37
UA 4975 283.85
While interesting, I don’t think BTs data on average fare is conclusive about yields. Thanks for the continued JBLU promotion though.
