Unlikely the poor become more poor when the incentives (handouts) to be poor are taken away. We’ll probably see an increase of the middle class—decrease in poverty levels.
Do I see more first class seats being installed? Yeah, thanks to inflation which shrunk the middle class the last four years and made the rich even richer.
American is doing the opposite of creating lower income seating. They’ve made a few announcements of upgrading their first class product to “flagship suites”. They’re also adding more first class seats to their old 319’s and 320’s.
