TPG gives an example of EWR-FLL on May 14. Let's pick that.

06:40 $128 12500
08:29 $128 12500
10:30 $128 12500
14:00 $128 12500
16:30 $87 11500
18:00 $87 11500
19:10 $53 6000
20:30 $87 11500

How is this not obviously dynamic award pricing to match cash fares?
This is great, thank you for sharing the comparison! I really worry about the dynamic pricing... My main use case is for awards is intercontinental biz and/or short-notice travel. If they get tied to cash values this tightly then it will be a huge devaluation for my use cases.... I'd definitely start evaluating just buying cheapest carrier vs. keeping allegiance to *A
