Really? Could you provide a link where I said that? I mean, you said I "often complained"...so it should be ever so easy for you to provide that link. Oh... I have said that on routes where there is no competition, the legacy carriers have charged extremely high prices. Heck...I'll give you one (although it wasn't United - I'll wait for the link you post where I said that about United and then apologize when/if you provide it.) - AA between MCI and Dallas. Last minute fares when Vanguard was gone and Delta pulled out of the market were $858 round trip. When they have competition, there's a difference. Price that today.
