- A tiny, almost immeasurable fraction of a percent who buy a true F fare bucket
- FF upgraders
- Nonrevs
- Award users
- People on YUP/QUP/HUP type fares
- Etc.

Plus there is a sizable percentage of commercial airliners in the air with an all-Y configuration to begin with.

Now that I think about it, it might only be 2 or 3 percent on a paid premium cabin ticket.

Agree on F. Disagree on Business Class. The majority in Business are in paid Business Class seats. There are more than enough companies willing to pay the price for their people on long haul flights.
