Haha, never bothered thinking about that, since it's not offered anyway, but now that you mentioned it, if the economy pass is equal to a U fare, then the business pass would have to be a Z fare or somewhere between A and Z, which would make it both attractive and probably successful! I'm always on the lookout now for A or Z fares with a discount code, but it's a tough game to play 😜.
A little data point (or intermediate conclusion if you wish) as my mother made it to silver with the reduced thresholds, 3 flights with the Athens-Düsseldorf pass, and a couple of flex or even light flights on the same route. Now unfortunately the reduced threshold for retaining status doesn't apply (since the status year expires post May 2023), but she is of course still offered the reduced threshold for reaching gold until May (sadly, contrary to what retaining silver with the 25% less miles would have been, not doable with the remaining 3 flights of her pass).

I was also able to voucher-upgrade 2 out of her 3 "pass flights" so far (one immediately thanks to I class being available and one after getting wait-listed, at around 23 hours before departure), while one upgrade request failed due to a full cabin.
The flight where I class was available would have actually been cheaper to book without the pass, but I used the pass to both, well, make use of it, since it's already paid for, as well as to get the additional tier miles that come with it (after all it was only a 8€ or 12€ difference, something like that). The other two flights, that the pass was used for, have so far saved us a total of somewhere between 250€ and 300€

(so now every flight left on the pass is pretty much taxes only).
One other little perk (besides the additional vouchers) is that now even more award miles will be flowing into the together account

. Let's see if we can get her to retain silver (I have a feeling this will actually happen about 2-3 days before status is due to expire, since I'm counting on a flight to be taken around those days

) and if Aegean will keep offering the pass for another year (if it's still available by the end of May, I'll probably buy it again).
