Makes sense, there is no US middle class anymore. The wealthy can just use a private jet while the poor are put on overbooked flights. Wealth disparity is getting worse and not better.

Middle class? First class tickets were never for the middle class. Maybe it's just that

business class it good enough, even for rich people
American Airlines' first class is so bad that the first class passengers just go to other airlines...
