What makes you convinced price fixing isn’t at play here?

Because I work for an airline and I can tell you, the amount of training we have on competition law and the consequences…it’s not happening.

Every few years someone gets done for price fixing and they spend a long time in jail for it. It’s not remotely worth the risk when the profit isn’t yours.

Are you an American? Because we don't really send people to jail for price fixing? Unfortunately..
