Though B6 seems to be a bigger beneficiary in this case as their flights are far more full. AS is offering rates of $499/$506 on most dates for F which is quite low for a transcon with limited competition. Close in it is very similar to Y fares. B6 is $1390 in Mint close in and selling out most flights.
