Should UA or AA charge you more since the fare from JFK-SNA or JFK-ONT may be more than JFK-LAX?

If you pay for coach maybe a $20 credit would be more than enough. However if you paid for a sleepr (sorry the_traveler) I would be royally pissed, unless that is they put me in one of those tour buses rock bands use which as far as I am concerned is more along the lines of what i paid for vs. a standard greyhound seat.
