(I'm not sure what you mean with P-fare though, P-fares are INTL fares nowadays and will generally cost you north of $2k. You mean an L-fare or similar that books into P?)
The fares I have been buying are listed as "P" on my ticket receipt. The mechanics of how it got there don't matter to me, but in my domestic searches, I find "P" inventory all the time.
Also, EWR-SFO/LAX in PS for 1K+ seems like a good deal to me. Contrast that with the approx. $800- that I paid for the PHX ticket above.
