Of course this is quite stupid. TK has made a clever but risky move in providing a product that isn't as expensive as business, yet is (allegedly) miles better than economy. If they want CC to be a success, they should at least make it easy for people to spend their money on it!
TK's management seems to think that zero marketing and catastrophic implementation of the product so that even the most knowledgeable people example Flyertalkers don't know how to book or which routes CC is available does the trick.
