My friend, inventory information is not interpreted that way. 4F and 4A simply means 4 first class inventory is available for EITHER of F or A, NOT individually. Therefore, for example, if one person grabs the seat using either subclasses, the inventory might show 3F and 3A. OR, it can remain at 4F/4A because, as you say, there are 12 seats available, and say they intend to sell 8 (4 for VIP or whatever). Then, that's 7/8 seats available, so it will still show 4F and 4A.

Thanks for your help. But I am maybe even more confused by the figures in your statement - on the one hand you say that F4 A4 really means there are 4 seats and therefore one First Class passenger in either subclass taking up a ticket will diminish both categories by 1 - this I understand. Yet on the other hand you effectively said that F4 A4 meant the airline intended to sell 8, I thought, on your logic, it would mean they intend to sell 4?
