Lets further stipulate that AB has no J availability, so you are in Y for A-B, but in J for B-C... (NOT A 'voluntary downgrade', just not seated in the cabin you have purchased.)
DO YOU THINK that A-B is booked in some 'y fare basis' and B-C is then in a J fare basis???????? Such that when inventory opens in A-B, you have to re-book the whole ticket??????
Lets start with the basics here, shall we?
i am not sure what you are talking about. you are saying that the eticket is in J sector, but is not confirmed? confirmed in J but no seat assigned?
if there is no space in J so, it must be confirmed in Y class. so it is a voluntary downgrade (one accepts the reservation).
for example i have an eticket like this
AONE5 fare.

HND HKG A

The fare basis is A class, yet i am on D on some sectors J on some sectors.
If there is A class on some flight, I can make a change and pay the fee (if applicable). it requires a reissued. just because the fare basis is A class does not mean that I can fly first class.
