The public do pay a fair price. They pay just what the airline asked them to pay for the service. Not less. The price paid by each passenger is wholly set by the airline. It's up to the airline to manage their finances.
And if the response is "We 'have' to price like that, otherwise Easyjet take the business", that's all telling. Isn't it ?
