I can live with long-haul Business from FRA but no way would I put up with 4+ hours in a Y seat sold as C. At least LX still offers long-haul C and BA has three class F on one of its daily LHR flights.

We all don't know or see the figures they have.
Makes sense and perhaps this is what we're now seeing.
