Exciting!
I'm predicting:
1. Announcement of the 787 seats to all business class (we know this one already)
2. Introduction of lie-flat seating (mint class) on certain A321 for domestic routes.
3. Better food.
4. New menu choices for domestic business class.
5. Exclusive check-in lounge at YYZ
6. Free limo service to / from airport for international business class pax.

Perhaps they will try what Cathay Pacific did with the Mandarin Oriental Group:

or go with the personalized chef approach on board Austrian Airlines and Turkish Airlines?

2. I doubt it. They already sell pods on some routes. And it says the announcement is about international business class
3. Possibly
4. No, for the same reason as 2. It said international business class.
5. Interesting, but I'm curious what the benefits would be, other than not having to breath the same air as the lowly Y fare purchasers.
6. Is this really something that could be affordably offered? I can think of many things I'd like that would be far cheaper than a limo. Let's start with better alcohol
I read it as enhancements to J, including something culinary, not that it's just culinary.
