I've seen it go both ways on an all-AC booking, but I have no recent data.
Hold on there though. Have you actually seen Y segments earn as PY on AC, or are you just alluding to the fact that Latitude happens to earn the same as PY? I know we've seen J/PY fares on Y-only aircraft sometimes book in to Latitude and sometimes in to Flex, but I think we've consistently seen them credit as what they've booked in to.

For instance, on a J fare on a connecting flight with only Y cabin available, I've seen 125% earnings if it credited as Latitude or 100% showing as Flex, but never 150%.

They could; they just haven't been bothered to build it. Which is why we built a calculator.
