Could be they're experimenting and doing it on flights where it doesn't matter much, just to find out what the uptake is, before they start trying to do it when it might make a difference.

A risk at $35 is that they're just going to get people who bought the cheapest flight of the day and were going to SDC anyway and they don't get good data.
