You keep banging on about this 375 airfare.
If you book in advance its a third of that. Booking on the day because your ferry isn't sailing is always going to result in a high fare.
This happens pretty much everywhere that provides the same kind of route and aircraft.
Please stop comparing larger aircraft operated in the past. There is a reason why they no longer are in use, largely down to fuel and operating costs greatly increased during the last 30 years....... The demand never required an 80+ seat aircraft anyways, they just did that because they had them available and could afford to do it.
If you want make a valid point, tell me of a comparable operation that doesn't charge these fares?
