I do agree that cheap T+ fares and LMU's are cheaper than paid J, however I do have limits.
The fare that I quoted was just the fare, before taxes and all the miscellaneous charges.

I assume that you have meant $1,430 all-in for a roundtrip or about $715 each way.

The normal price of discount Executive First (fare only, not all in) is 6~7 times more expensive than Tango Plus. Maybe you will now appreciate why those actually have paid real $$ to fly Executive First are upset to only get a mere 25% COS. That is also the reason why some other airlines are offering 50~100% COS on premium fares because these are high margin profit generators.

The LMUP that you mentioned was a very good deal.
