I can't see why I should line Bransons purse when I can fly LHR-LOS with Air France or Lufthansa in better aircraft without these additional charges being levied.
So why don't you?

Each time I book a trip, short/medium/long, after general checks I look to see:-
  • cost for the specific rotations I want (time, dates, direct/indirect, airports)
  • can I use FFMs for upgrade / how many FFMs can I earn
  • baggage allowance checked and cabin (costs where applicable)
  • quality and reputation of the carrier, along with previous experience
  • type of a/c operating the route
Whether I am paying myself (mostly) or the client (occasionally) I make these checks every time so that I get as close to what I want as I can get. Doesn't everyone?
