While I agree that this is the universal push by airlines, it is beyond uncertain that they will get anywhere with this. Most of us won't pay for those F seats as those F seats are not worth the money they are offered for.

With no upgrade inventory, I will however also no longer pay for expensive Y fares as dirt cheapo fares shall get me the same. 1P I am for life, with no ug, 1P is the same as 1K. MP miles are now worthless anyway for me.

So should UACO succeed in prostituting itself entirely to the B2B only, then the reaction is an easy one for me too.
Nobody should make a decision based on the past.
With the subtle problem of course that no one knows the future and that there is a huge inertia in the system. Especially on the consumer's side.
