Who is stupid enough to pay that premium to fly AA?
That's happens often to preserve seats for traffic connecting thru DFW. When AA was running non-stops between LGA-ATL, they were often priced lower than DL non-stops.

Essentially AA is saving the LGA-DFW F seat for LGA-DFW->long haul on a F/J fare over someone who just want to fly F LGA-DFW unless they were willing to pay $626 for it.
