That's supply and demand, the free market economy at work.

US (and other airlines) had many opportunities to save cash during good times and come up with solutions that did not alienate loyal passengers when times got tough.

Instead, US chose to screw the pooch with their gross incompetence and their weak attempt to look like a LCC that charges full whack for services.
