Why is it then when the East coast fares go over $400 to $450 the people scream and whine like crazy? That is my basis for any comparison. That is still a great price (and many would be very happy with that price) compared to many others but is seems to set off a nerve in the East coast crowd.

More power to those that can get that fare but many others are paying 2-3 times that, with a connection.
