Multi-Class will remain - it's just that the classes are changing, from:
  1. First + Econ
  2. First + Club + Econ
  3. First + Club + Prem Econ + Econ
to some other new combination that the market place has not yet finally decided upon. The first think (Ha-Ha) is that Biz is good enough for most people and the demand for pure First is smaller, for now.

As to the problem of companies saving money on not paying biz fares, I well recall arriving in HKG completely zonked having had to do 14 hours in Y, because the client would not pay for C. The next day were some very important presentations on a highly technical and complex project, upon which I had to adjudicate which was the best solution for the client. I fell asleep in the presentations.
