What about this CRAZY idea for 777?

- Smaller J class
- PY as planned
- 5 rows of Premium seat with 3-3-3, 33" legroom [reserved for Elite, and sold at premium to non-Elite]
- The rest of Y at 3-4-3 (another 40 rows!)

This would almost make it similar to how a320s have premium seats upfront cabin. I am sure it won't happen, but I really think it'd be very smart if they did. They'd still keep their density for cattle class, YET, will not lose business customers like me (I refuse to fly HD), as Elite could book these seats (more revenue to AC) and get on their business. They may lose 5-10 seats maximum, but I bet would keep the business flyers on AC.
