> you can still buy service at 2x the price in first class

Writing this demonstrates you don't know what you're talking about. Plenty of people would happily pay double for a first-class seat but that's not nearly enough. At best paying double gets you into premium economy.

Most domestic (USA) first class tickets are 3-5x the cost of an economy ticket. For international flights, business tends to be 3x and first class is something like 7x-10x.

I had to fly coast to coast in the US and I was pretty disappointed that for a 6hr+ flight you can't get a seat that turns into a bed even in first class. Especially on an overnight flight.
