I'm sure this pricing strategy--like most--is to gain higher revenue, compared to without the sale.
CO must believe that those business travelers who fly out of IAH or CLE or EWR would select CO anyway at $6K or $7K because of convienence, whereas those connecting could connect on any carrier. So CO wants to keep the high rev BF customers while supplementing it with these non-hub, price-sensitive customers.
