True, and for my trips to Asia I usually buy PY for the reasons you mention.
But I also buy 2-3 Europe Flex FPs per year and these book into V. Premium Economy to Europe is often quite pricey and at ~1400 R/T the Flex FP was a great value for the routes I fly.
I find it frustrating that there has been zero advance warning from AC and this change has literally been implemented overnight.
Hoping to hear more from AC soon.
