Things cost what the market says they should.

On topic, I really hope J fares never get lowered for AC. I'm happy to have lots of R space available...
AC J fares have come down a lot from my perspective in just the last 5-6 years.

It wasn't that long ago that a P fare on YYZ-SFO was well over $3000 USD round-trip regardless of advance purchase. Now you can easily get it under $1500.
