Makes sense, there is no US middle class anymore. The wealthy can just use a private jet while the poor are put on overbooked flights. Wealth disparity is getting worse and not better.

  • business class it good enough, even for rich people
  • American Airlines' first class is so bad that the first class passengers just go to other airlines...
