When I booked my seat a few weeks ago, I can only assume that more people paid more - so if go! is getting an average of $50 a seat, at 49 seats, thats about $2300 bucks (take out the 7.5% fed tax) for a 40 minute flight... which is above the cost of a CRJ for that flight.
There were only about 1500 $19 fares. Most of those went in the first 2 hours of the announcement. Usually the $39 fares cover about half of the seats on each flight, then the rest are $43-56.
