If it's not a good idea for all to switch, then perhaps it isn't a good idea for anyone to switch.
I never thought I would see the Categorical Imperative invoked in a FT argument. However, isn't the very existance of seperate J and Y classes a utilitarian construct and not a Kantian universalist one? Surely if some passengers should be seated comfortably, all passengers should be equally comfortable.
