What makes you think Y passengers are 'sweaty'?
Please do not be so presumptuous. Trust me that there are a fairly large number of folks on this planet who go in paid F but don't have the slightest of consideration for their fellow passengers or etiquette on board (apart from being sweaty and smelly). I'm sure you'll find yourself next to them fairly soon. (or do you belong to them that you actually don't notice that money doesn't have the slightest to do with grooming????)
