I live in Vancouver. I know many people who travel regularly to California on business (myself included). We're all required to fly on 'cheapest economy.'
Hardly a scientific study, but I don't know anyone in my wide circle of friends, family & associates who flies paid-J or full-fare economy on business out of Vancouver - To California, anyway.
So in that respect we're no different than Clark Griswold flying his family to Wally World.
WHO ASKED for J-class? I don't care about that at all, not even about losing the displays... What about just some legroom for anyone over 5'8? 29" seat pitch is simply way too small, the seat width is also below 17" (AC genuisly is not even listing it), you can't possibly work on your laptop on that trip, and there's not enough room for carryon for business travelers, and overall it's a charter airline model designed for only tourist customers.
