I don't agree. I think you'll find the majority of J seats are filled by people paying for them. What they are paying is a different story, but the majority are paying for the seats.
Few business travelers make purchasing decisions based on airline quality. It is price and schedule. Sure, most of my colleagues who are not passionate travelers know that SIA is better than UAL, but would not book SIA if UAL offers a lower fare. With corporate discounts, there is typically one clear airline with the lowest fare on any given route.
