It is also the market. Other than the Federal Government and some high end consulting operations, no company pays for J for other than senior execs.
In Europe and Asia, execs get F.
This is why AC did away with F so long ago.
If you fill J with bottom feeder upgrades, you are losing money.
But then again, the J prices AC charges are not warranted considering the level of service vs LH/NH/OZ/KE/LX and the state of the older planes.
