Is FC the new coach?

I've noticed a real decline is service over the years - 70's and 80's coach had better service than today's FC.

But I've also noticed a drop in advance purchase FC fares, sometimes only a couple hundred over coach. So is the next step starting add-ons in FC? Paying for better food, bulkhead seats, etc?

If all of the seats are sold in FC, that doesn't leave any for status travelers. I'm GM and the last time I flew coach I was 80 on the waitlist for 2 seats so the only way I can fly FC is to buy the ticket.
