The only reason I can give you is they wanted to spank at least one cockroach. It is they only reason that can make any sense

Thanks. It at least makes a little more sense to me now. If, as of now there is no other LCC there (flyI doesn't really count because they'll be gone in a month or so), then price competition shouldn't be that tremendous because it's all Legacy.

Once again, someone else moves in and US just gives in and lets them eat away at their market share
