Of course, the point more generally is that the disparity between rich and poor is increasing. The point with the airlines is that disparity between rich and middle class is increasing. It's not the poor who fly, it's the middle class and it's their relative income which is declining at a fast rate. The economy section of the plane is where they sit, and so the offering will decline in line with their income.
But, yes, it's clear that Premium Economy will become more and more relevant for the top end of the middle class scale.

Quite. Not everything is about America.
