companies can charge whatever they want and the customers decide to buy or not to buy at those prices......kind of like supply and demand
yes it is a large price difference but there is nothing illegal about it, US Airways set a price which you accepted and United had a price that was lower
the government cant control what a private company charges unless you want a socialized government, and you cant exactly decide that in some industries this should or shouldn't happen, its got to be the same across the board
You purchased economy tickets (im guessing) for a total of 2000 and this is what you agreed to, they shouldnt upgrade you for comparing prices as if that was the case there would be very few economy seats as everyone would just say oh i purchased this but this airline is cheaper so upgrade us......and business class seats are more than $700 in most cases
now they shouldnt have berated or even told you that the DOT or anyone emailed them about this
