@GoodIdea - I was talking about this same idea with a friend over the weekend, asking him how much extra he'd pay for a "first-class" seat on a plane of ONLY "first-class" seats.
I think it's a cool thought exercise, although we did end up in the same place of needing to charge very high rates. I'm really not sure if it'd be more affordable for the Passenger than if they bought first-class on an airline with economy seating. I don't know much about airline accounting, but I assume the money is made on economy seating, which allows first class to be more affordable than if it were a plane full of first class.
All that said, if your scenarios were true, I would absolutely choose Option B - flying "first class" (I know we're only talking about room, not the other amenities) for $150 sounds amazing.
