Their response? Make the aircraft all C class and start charging through the nose - right in the face of the worst non-depression economic slowdown in history. Loads dropped to almost nothing, but they began aggressively discounting the C fares to corporate customers - so instead of pricing Exec-Economy for what it's really worth, they now give C away to certain customers and overcharge (even after discount) everyone else.

Let''s hope they wake up and bring Executive Economy back...SQ is usually smarter than this.
