So, it does happen that, probably because I'm a "regular" with status that I'm getting a higher fare--THIS JUST ISN'T FAIR!!! AI is discriminating!!!

Were multiple attempts made on both devices contemporaneously? That would preclude this being due to legacy info on the friend's device.

If OP is sure of his observation, share it with Congress folks who wrote the letter to DL.
