Even if the chance of an F seat selling before a C seat is low, it is larger than zero -> so it should be more profitable to offer F1 C1 than F0 C1.

This would require to have an IT-system being capable of managing inventory across cabins. If you do not have this, the displayed behaviour makes perfect sense...
