I think you misunderstand the argument, which is that the numbers suggest that DL can't be doing materially worse than the competition in selling premium seats (at least without having an offsetting revenue edge in coach). I don't think anyone would necessarily dismiss the idea that there may be an industry-wide issue with overcapacity in premium cabins or that it is increasingly difficult to achieve revenue premiums for J that justify the loss of Y seats.
