I wonder when Air Canada will introduce its third tier of service?

Currently, they have the high-priced/low-service model (the one we all "enjoy" today); soon they will have the lower-priced/ even lower service model; but where is the moderately-priced/moderate service airline - the one most of us actually want?

Upper Cattle Class and Lower Cattle Class are valid options. But can't we have something like "Kobe Cattle Class", where passengers are treated in a reverential way? Imagine getting to one's destination feeling relaxed tasting good?
