How are you not encouraging hidden city ticketing when it is that much. I know the NYC market is brutally competitive, but someone in RM at AA is not paying much attention to the CLT-originating passengers.
CLT is a captive hub and that's typical of pricing where an airline owns the local market. The business traveler, even in Y probably doesn't want to fly to CLT to fly to CDG no matter how much cheaper. Even lots of leisure paxs won't want to backtrack.
