Fares that low for a flight on a 170 will not last, it’s simply not sustainable. Eastern's fares have always been high, and with the smaller capacity, they need to be to stand any chance of covering costs. Anyone who says they can put a 170 on the route and charge cheap fares is deluded!
There is far too much capacity on the NCL/ MME route and something will have to change to see any longevity on these routes.
