It's been this way for much of history. Middle men, such as merchants before the industrial age, were the wealthy class. They were also despised by many who thought it was 'unfair'.

The merchants in this are the airline companies that have planes and sell services. Priceline is like the person that owns the bazaar that the merchants sell in. I'd wager that person has historically been wealthier than the merchants, too.
