i think before wondering about F or J, we need to understand how society is evolving.

my feeling is F will disappear, doesnt mean wealth disappears. i think new form of travel, think ride-share of type private jets that routinely does shuttle of key routes will emerge. private jet with private cabins, where schedules are predicted by AI using bigdata, is where i see.

on commercial jets i think J will replace F, Y+ will become more like J-, and Y will evolve away from recent trend of sardine cramp in the new normal. People travel less, airfare goes up. so cx may be back to "normal" but a very different normal

i think i mentioned about 6yrs ago on a thread about cx going 10 abrest will be curse destined to fail. last 5yr was eurphoria/bubble of travels, which has popped and crashed. CX failed to read future or arrange for contiengency (i work in a line of business where i.need to always be prepared for unthinkable, no excuses). they are paying the price now
