Books on airline ticket pricing

Apart from Google and reading the odd paper in a journal, are there any good recommended texts on the economics / maths behind airline ticket pricing ? Many years ago, I did 2 Master's degrees - one in economics and one in maths, so I'm not afraid of a little bit of calculus.

I've seen a few books, but they seem to be from before the time the EU liberalised the passenger air transport market, so are hopelessly out of date. I'm particularly looking for something that is reasonably current - if it doesn't acknowledge LCCs in a significant way, I'd be rather dubious. I know various people (e.g. Simon Calder) have written books about the human angle, and are a fairly gentle read and probably used to sell quite well to the general public, but I'm after something that talks about proper pricing with some maths and, I'm guessing, differential equations.
