That was the joke.

How do we define "downgauge"?
I assume it excludes our 787 being replaced by a 77L?
I had a CRA replaced with a Q400. The latter has more seats. But I was in J, so it involved a downgrade, and is quite memorable due to them not telling me, even when I scanned my J cabin BP. I noticed when I walked on.
I've had a 763 downgauged to a 321 at least twice. That's noticeable, but nowhere near as bad as losing J altogether.
If a 321 becomes a 320 when it's J5, I'm not going to notice or care.
I'm sure I've had a few DH3 to DH1, but again, it wouldn't affect me enough to remember.
