Gosh, I barely recall the term Connaisseur, and you caused me to do a search.

How much smaller could they make J? It's already 3-4 rows. if they went to 2 rows, the dedicated FA would be lost. Service is a bit slow as it is.

I expect that the sold J is in respect to connections, so I do understand why some will always be sold. However, last connection to YYZ had 1/2 the J cabin filled with Rouge FAs.
