Now, a question....are we safe to acknowledge that the first letter of the "Fare Basis" code is always the fare booking class ?

I'm not sure. I just booked a r/t in Club from HKG at the 50% off rate (until June 30) and looking at the ticket it is booked in "I" but the fare started with J.... (I don't have the ticket with me so can't tell you right now the farebase). I did think it was strange to see the farebase as J.... and then see it booked in I. I will check again on Monday to see what the exact farebase was.
