And this is what you took advantage of, because you were able to find inventory in the Y cabin at some point in the day (a significant likelihood on most lighter travel days on such a busy route!).
Is my assessment of the situation correct?
We're departing with at least 11 empty J seats.
That's my point.
This is not a flight where J space was in dispute. There is TONS of it.
That should have been made clear by the loads I posted.
No, your assessment of the situation is not correct, you've just tried to manipulate it to suit your needs.
P.S. my argument was that status was the most important regardless. That would have me at the top of the list regardless of other factors, because I'm SE. So even if J were full, your assessment would still be wrong.
