The point is they do not have limited buckets.
I mean, on Delta you can book the lowest one and when you try to do the next the fare goes up. Whereas somehow on AS they put another fare in the bucket.
But I also see a disconnect cause main fares and saver seem to have no correlation, as in saver is still there when main has gone up tremendously. And sometimes main is cheap but saver is gone. But this time after I booked up the savers the main fare went up.
