My seat..no bounce at all.

Ended up sitting in another seat, but if the flight is full in J, then what?

At this point, I get them to bring a GA on board to downgrade someone else.

I say this as a Super Elite in revenue J though. It would be tougher in other circumstances.

Heck I'd take a PY seat over a deflated J seat.
