If so, that would be pretty disappointing. I realize medium haul PE isn't all that much different from Y, but the catering and guaranteed seating in the first few rows of the plane were nice touches as a benefit of purchasing a long haul W ticket.
I guess I don't really see how this saves significant amount of money, unless they think people will buy up to J now (which seems unlikely), or if the new J seats were substantially different from Y.
