The answer was no. There are six such seats (on a 398Y aircraft) and they are all occupied.
That's all I have left to say on "pax are too cheap to pay for anything but slaveship seating".
Well, they would say.
Pay $$$$ for J or $$$ for PY or ST*U :P

So apparently they also doubled preferred seat prices on Transcon. AC loyalist's argument that "no one is paying for them" doesn't seems to be holding true.
Call Y people entitled, but scream as soon J feature diminished a pretty hypocritical like this:
