No it's not, and don't just compare width and pitch.
What's more if CX were to do as you suggested with their J product they would cannibalise F revenue dramatically which would be financially foolish.
No they won't because: 1) Few are buying into F anyway and most of them are just AA redemptions. 2) People fly F because they are on the top of the mountain and don't really give a hoo about what's happening below them. I have a hard time seeing a super banker gets "upset" about CX improving J and PEY to a point that they would boycott CX F and instead just fly CX J because of it. They fly F because of who they are in status and identity, not sitting at home carefully comparing over details of differentiation and get the "better deal".
The moral of this story? If you want a J product pay for and fly J.
