Supply and demand works both ways.
But even when they were operating 737's that were getting emptier with the mining downturn, there was never any 'cheap' fares like you would expect.

Charging exhorbinant airfares just because people have little choice is ethically wrong. Why should they be penalised for living in remote parts of the country?
