I don’t expect anything but I did grab a good seat in the forward mini cabin of Y.
On company dime, I'm flying PEY now. But I would NEVER pay for it. And I actually feel bad for my company that pays for it. But I think CX has it and it does exactly what CX wants it to do:
1) Make money off suckers (company) that won't pay for J class but will pay for PEY class (like mine)
2) A buffer zone for oversold Y upgrades to relief J class from overcrowding.
3) Gets people that wants to use miles to upgrade to J class
From CX's perspective PEY is a win, screw the pax.
