This is a bad move PR wise and I hope they get slammed for it.
Because people wouldn't pay $500 - the airline has assumedly calculated that at $75 it will get a higher revenue
If the airline is in financial difficulty, apart from asking for assitance, it needs to start helping itself too
If Basic Economy fare + $75 is more expensive than an economy fare, then pay the economy fare
