It can get a bit confusing because most airlines hedge their fuel.

So actually the fuel price dropping might actually cause a huge technical red mark in the balance book if they have screwed the hedging up.

The job of commercial is to maximise profit so they will charge the highest yielding ticket price mix they can for a route. If they don't have to reduce prices they won't and take the extra.
