Basic Business will be the new floor at the current pricing and then everything else will be at a higher level. GUC’s will be a BB redemption. Delta’s fixed cost is way to high to offer a lower business class fare as this would also cannibalize the PS cabin, which Delta’s pricing is ridiculous, but fools still pay for.
