I don't disagree with you. I'm liberal with buying F - it's gotten harder for me to fly - but these fares are like taking a match to my $$ just to watch them burn. And you're right -- especially in these markets with the typical products. (Although there have been some excellent crews at times, it's definitely hit or miss. And probably more 'miss' to be honest.)
