They have less demand for J seats in domestic/transborder service because today, most companies simply will not pay for J on flights of less than 8 hours. Government will, of course, but how many bums in seats does that reflect on a given flight? Not enough to keep 20 seats up front.
IMHO, few consumers will pay more than double for seating in J on what are most often two or three hour flights. It's just not worth it.

I wonder which type is next? The 788s came with a small J cabin, the 777HD has a smaller J cabin, and now this. Does anyone think its possible that the A319s could see a reduction to maybe 10J?

Perhaps the 77L when they go through the re-config scheduled for both 777 variants. The ratio of J:Y is quite high there too, similar to the A330 at 18.4% (42:228).

Since the 727 I don't believe that AC has j cabin with middle seat. But I would have to defer to a more senior board member to recall if the L1011 had middle seat in j. Also have no recollection of the former CP cabin configuration.

727 was 2x3 arrangement in J. The original factory delivered A320 was 30J/102Y if memory serves. But I have a feeling upgradesecret will correct me if I am wrong.

No, there was no middle seat in AC L1011 J.
CP's DC10 has the worst Y configuration of 2x5x2. Can you imagine sitting in the middle seat in the middle 5 seater? The DC10 J was 2x2x2. Op up to F once but couldn't remember the seating arrangements. The CP 744 lower deck J has middle seat in a 2x3x2 configuration.

Likely because the L1011 stopped flying before 'Executive Class' was introduced. Now the exception was the 3 (or 4) L10's brought back from the desert and put into the special business class configuration and only ran between YYZ and YVR/LAX.
The first Executive Class aircraft was the 767-200 and it was 2x3x2
