Situation is comparable to post 9/11. Demand for business travel will not increase, because of any C class sales, but very likely we will see those sales in Y, at least from some airlines.
Maybe we'll see the number of C seats reduced on LH, and 36C configs on the small airbusses and 54C/66C one the 747 will become more common.
