Business travelers do book on fare price. But, when the fares are within $100 of each other, they'll take the higher fare if the schedule/route is more congruent with their needs. It has been this way with every company I've worked for, and it's presently how I deal with my own travel.
I have to fly on average of 2-3 days a week. At least - I have been since May. I'd LOVE it if fares went up 15-20% or more provided that the crews were better-taken-care-of and the services I received were improved.
It's called value.
