RM at B6 is a swinging door and these analysts are often right out of school with zero experience so they think they can get away pricing Blue at over twice BE fares... how incredibly fortunate since they probably won't be around when it backfires on them as it often happens.
Keep in mind that ua also had the more restrictive basic economy fare that does not allow carry on luggage. I think we will have to wait a while to see how this works out.
