True, but also, for those who deserve it the most (Lifetime, Solitaire & PPS) would already be flying in F/J most of the time, due to the way PPS works. I wouldn't think a Solitaire would fly in Y much, if at all.

I actually like the no-upgrade policy as I'd rather have my J seat next to me free on the A330 config, rather than have a full cabin because Y was oversold.

And op-up from J to F/R would be nice, if it ever happened, but its obviously not as of much value as from Y to J, which again doesn't impact most PPS members.
