10kster: I am not a lawyer, but my understanding of anti-trust law is that airlines are allowed to have the same fares, they're just not allowed to admit it!(case simplified for humor purposes)
IE, if there is evidence of collusion, they've broken the law. Just playing follow-the-leader is tolerated.
There was a case about 12 years ago where the late night fare signalling on the major reservations systems was ruled to be illegal price collusion.
I was attempting humor by pointing out that you, as an airline employee, might be taken as an official spokesman acknowledging this collusion. Better not to say it... shhh!
I have actually been amazed lately at how many of the fares ARE NOT the same. Either some lines are sold out of the cheapies, or they are not matching. This is one of the values of using the comparison sites (Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz et al). Sometimes the difference is only the various airports' fees, sometimes it's huge!
Should I take Les Pax as intended to insult? Some of my best friends....

"Service" should be a noun, not a verb.
