I am!

In fact, in the first two cases, they code-share and for the same ticket price you get either full service or no service at all! So I just don't see the point of saving the airline some money if, as passengers we don't get anything in return. And thus, I would propose to amend your thread to 'what would you be willing to swap in Y'? (i.e. for anything the passenger loses, the passenger must get a new benefit of equivalent value).
