Needless to say when you do a flexible date search and the actual days are highlighted in green for "low priced" awards they are still coming up with the 40k redemption amount.

BTW, on the JFK-LAX transcons I was able to find a few 25k Y awards but the vast majority are 32.5k. Also there were a few F awards for 62.5k on off peak dates but most of them were 80k.

Yes Y is different (can be had for 25k) because it is "standard" Y. FC on that route is "Domestic Business Elite".

I still say Delta ought to just be honest. People understand why Domestic BE is different but they do not understand the constant need by Delta to hide behind terminology and leave key info out of the award charts. Cowardly marketing.
