If they've decided that they need to compete with $35 NK fares, in a world where BE fares exist, it makes sense that they'd use them for it. I'm not convinced the reputation hit from this is any worse than the reputation hit of offering BE in the first place. You could make the same argument about the need to match NK fares in the first place.
