Ignoring the discussion of fairness, etc.. and focusing on your specific question:
When you price out a paid ticket, the carrier surcharge will be included in the "Air Transportation Charge" section, and not the "Taxes, Fees and Charges" section. If you expand the ATC section, you'll see a line for surcharges, and that's where you should see the $970.
