Ha, as odd as it sounds, get this headline from Aviation Week:
The Chinese government has deregulated pricing of domestic business and first-class air fares, abolishing a rule that they must be set at 1.5 and 1.3 times the price of economy tickets, respectively.
The change opens the way for China Southern to widely introduce lie-flat seats that it has tried in an Airbus A330. The carrier could not get permission to charge the price it wanted for that service level, three times the economy fare, a company executive says.

On a better note, the Twin Otter is back in real production, not refurbished but real new planes. Maybe we could fly it out of SEA or something?
50-76 seaters belong at DCI... but twin turboprops on floats, all ours!
