On that note, another change announced in the earnings call today: dynamic pricing for premium class seats.

There are a ton of ways they can choose to implement this with different results, but I suspect they might want to try to sell PC seats for less than they're charging today, on routes where most of PC is full of elites on free PC upgrades.
