Is it really though, when the airlines are offering the lower prices themselves? I'd say it's more like a coffee shop only showing the price of a small coffee, but you buy the large size which actually costs less, then you don't finish it.

Exactly. You and I should be supreme court judges.

Good analogy. In high school my friends and I would frequent a local diner. The normal price for a double cheeseburger meal was like $6.50 but they had an off menu item called the Wimpy Meal which was four single cheeseburgers and a double order of fries for $8.50. We would order that and split it paying $4.25 a piece.

If this is the best defense they've got then that is good news for us.
