We’d have to have premium passengers to need a premium seating configuration. Most analysts say that business travel will be slow to recover, and until then the focus will probably be cramming as many as possible into the cheap seats. I imagine that our first class lav policy is ticking our potential premium customers off too. They spend extra or burn miles to sit in a bigger seat and relax or get some work done. Now they just get the bigger seat and have all of the coach passengers lining up to use the front lav. I doubt that lie flat seats are going to be an issue for a while.
