Right, the argument in the article is based on one anrcdotal instance of an airline not lowering prices when they introduced Basic Economy to a market. The interpretatoon of the evidence is intellectually lazy; who's to say the two alternatives were not (1) raising prices for everyone or (2) introducing Basic Economy to maintain the current price. And yes, original commenter, I'm American and I'd prefer an unbundled pricing model because I don't use or need most of the things that get bundled into the price. The idea that an airline can simply include many more services while maintaining roughly the same prices seems very false: there would never have been budget airlines in the first place if it worked.
