E.g. "starting at 55k" currently just means "always 70k". If that's the way AS is "pricing them dynamically"/"starting at", they should just get rid of the fake advertising and make it "fixed 70k" pricing.

I don’t like what I’m seeing unless we get better availability and be able to mix and match OW. They’re devaluing so much that it’s becoming DL where they just charge whatever they feel like. 165k PLUS $1019 from SEA-MUC in BA F? No thanks…
