YVR-YYC yesterday, 2/9 crew in J, that's the LOWEST I've seen in my last 4-5 trips I'd say. It's often 4+. I'm fine with them negotiating that into the contract, but THAT'S what cheapens J, not eUpgraders.
On the topic of the thread I did get an OpUp SFO-YVR yesterday morning. Originally picked my seat, checked on it a few times to find there was still some space near me. Suddenly the day before flight all of row 4 was full and most of the aircraft was. Got called to the podium for a freebie...LMU was offered at $407 USD...lol. For Rouge I'm not sure I would've paid $107 USD.
