It is the last part of your equation that I see departing.

I think increasing Z availability (by either a real increase, or using a different inventory bucket for PMUs, or by allowing standby clearance on day of departure) and keeping the same number of PMUs is possible IF the PM status threshold is raised back to 100,000 MQMs where it once was.

I would be fine with that change, particularly if it gets the added benefit of being able to upgrade some additional fare buckets below the M fare level.
