“Purchasing a ticket to a point beyond the actual destination and getting off the aircraft at the connecting point is unethical,” according to the letter by American, which isn’t party to the case. “It is tantamount to switching price tags to obtain a lower price on goods sold at department stores.”

What a stupid analogy.

Wouldn't it be like wanting to buy a new video game, so you go to the store. The store has the video game for $60. But over on this shelf, they have the same exact video game, plus an additional controller, for $45. So you buy the $45 package so you could get the game for cheaper even though you didn't need the controller.

Isn't that more accurate?

I'm interested to see which way the court leans on this..
