Anc-PDX AS 80 Connecteing to 2291

I just have a bunch of extra time on my hands and am curious why this is? I know there is different classes of service, but if they are offering a hot ticket for the same flights shouldn't the hot deal be the one discounted? What is the difference between the hot deal ticket and bargain? I know it sounds a bit confusing but why the difference? Is it another AS marketing ploy?
yeah its a psychological discount just like the 40% off constituents fare. The constituents fare saves you a whole $8
