I don't think this is question of what justifies the price increase. That's easy to see.
I think the question posed here is an implication of anti-trust (mention of competitive $ Differences) collusion because there was an "coordinated" across the board increase for all of them. Is some one or some group synchronizing the PB fare prices? This is the question I believe is posed.
Having run a few businesses I think I can say that competitors watch their competition AND ADJUST. I see my boating school competitors now offer Senior Citizen & Military discounts I have had for a decade. Also I had offered review courses for internet students since day one, now my competitors do.
I'm sure if bench massages by real Masseuses on PB's became offered and popular they all would offer that soon off. LOL A nice shoulder massage after a hard fish fight is nice- right?

Seems odd as every other service provided or product sold in other industries have different prices for competition.
For example, barbers, plumbeers, charter boats, and others who provide service all have different prices when shopping for a service.
Anyone else have a thought on this?
Gerry if this needs to be moved to another part of the subject board please do so.
Thanks!
