I mean at the same time, if it's possible that regular people who actually shop around are shown lower fares and business travelers paid for by the company are shown higher fares, I'm all for that sort of subsidization, as unlikely as it is to be the reality

    It never works that way. People who shop around are shown the same fares as usual and the business are shown new higher fares... Then the businesses raise their costs for everything, since their expenses are higher. Eventually, it feels okay to raise the base level fares too.
