- I think I even saw one flight to MEX where J was equal to or less than T+.
- checking the fare of my CVG-ORD on UA yesterday a couple of days before, it was booking into the F cabin as the cheapest available, even though there were definitely many seats available in Y cabin classes below full fare levels

Like I said, I've given up trying.

Back in June with the Executive Class sale they were having, I bought fare for BOS-YYZ-YHZ, $3 cheaper (each way) in Z (Executive Class lowest) than what Tango Plus was being sold for.
