Resolves: Resolves YES if, by 2026-09-16 (UTC), at least two independent sources of the kind already tracked on this narrative report that premium strategy succeeds amid robust upscale demand — specifically: American Airlines' investment in premium seating drives higher yields and profitability on long-haul routes as premium demand continues to outpace economy growth, validated by similar moves by competitors..
