We still tend to fly Y short haul for the most part unless there is a bargain in CE, or we need the tier points.
Without status and Priority Pass, if CE return comes in circa (Y*1.5) + £50 + ( £10 for each full hour of service ) we tend to go for it.
Reality is, it just isn't worth the extra bucks to us when you are Silver and above. It's usually between 2 and 3.5 x the cost of Y and unless you get front row, better leg room in the exit rows.
If BA targeted POUGs at Silver+ that discounted the benefits from the ug fare that we already have by £25, I suspect we would fly it much more.
