I believe if Switzerland had it's way, it would enforce this on all applicants. Unfortunately it has had to roll over to the EU on many issues in order to protect a few of its own sacred cows, none the least being banking secrecy. In other words, EU-17 get a free upgrade to Business, while the rest remain in Economy. The EU-8 have only been able to negotiate the seats at the exit row (more leg room, but thats about it).

I think Switzerland sees the EU as a greater influence now than even the US, if for no other reason than the fact this tiny country is landlocked by said socio-political-economic conglomeration.
