The reason for not overselling J is that pissing off passengers who pay a premium is perceived to be horrible for business.

As such, if J is full, I would except that they would not oversell PY (though I'd be curious to hear if they have).

But if there are 5 seats free in J, I see no reason why they wouldn't oversell PY by 5, knowing that they're going to be doing e/op ups.
