I'm EXP; I wonder if lower-status pax were asked to pay more.
I’m assuming the $76 was for the second leg and not the PHL-PHX leg? $49-$76 seems to be the base offer zone for 1-2 hour flights. That’s a good point as to whether the parse out the offers on status / whether you have a AAdvantage number keyed in. I don’t think that’s the case, but you never know.
