Not sure if you're serious or not with this comment, but the airlines are just like the grocery stores, none of them make serious enough margins that you would even notice a difference in ticket prices if they cut their profits in half.
Delta made a 280 million dollar profit flying 103 million people in 2021, this means they made roughly $2.71 per passenger in net income. Lets cut their profit in half, boom you saved $1.35 per ticket.
There are some interesting breakdowns online about this, but generally all the airlines are completely worthless as businesses and they only have any value at all due to their passenger loyalty programs.
Heres a video for you to watch.
