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...

Many who don’t think of themselves as working class wouldn’t last very long at all without their salary.

This. Working class means you need to work to survive. The elite loves to drive wedges into this idea so that there is less solidarity.
