As for a fully seperate cabin on narrowbodies on short European hops, its not going to happen. That is unless you want to more than double that additional £200 you mentioned and in reality, the vast majority wouldn't.
You're right but all we're doing is demonstrating a failure of the market where competitors can offer the bare minimum that will keep point earning drones (yes, I do mean that) locked in and grateful, even though they know the actual hard product is relatively poor. Competition is meant to make things better, at this point it's a comfortable status quo.
