Looks like schizoid DL is back to one of their personalities in regard to the LAX-JFK transcontinental fares. Last month they had a $99 each way fare for Song that was a way to promote their new flights. That quickly changed into a $356 all in return fare while AA brought theirs up to $266 all in. Needless to say DL was unable to fish anybody in at that price premium and I noticed tonite that they have dropped the fare for my days in May to $256 all in. When I click on their seating chart I see that the flights are almost all empty. All they managed to do with this pricing ploy is lose a lot of potential flyers who booked with AA (like me!).

I am convinced that their pricing department is just basically incompetent.
