I'm probably going to get flamed for this. These RSN examples prove that a flat-rate pricing scheme DOES NOT work. The price of packages should be based on region (zip code).
Of course, this will never happen but as you go from place to place within the United States, its really an economy of scale. The ticket prices in Cleveland are going to be less expensive than those in New York. That is a FACT.
Why should X Customer in Wyoming pay the same rate as Y Customer in New York?
The customer in Wyoming has access to a much less expensive RSN. I'm not too familiar with the pricing schemes for these RSNs but I assume SNY and YES are probably the two most expensive. Perhaps, someone could shed some light on this.
