Perhaps expectations need to be level-set.
AS is not trying to be a premium airline and does not position itself that way. They intentionally make F more accessible, both through upgrades and lower pricing. In general, AS states it is trying to provide more value to all passengers, rather than giving a better premium experience at the expense of Y.
