Absolutely correct oli. And with the current J fares ex ZRH in the ranges of 8-9k USD it's not unusual to see (full) F fares priced lower ex other European countries.
Where I work we are back in the air like before covid or even more than that. But my colleagues at UBS, CS etc struggle to even get a ticket approved to LON haha. Glad I quit that industry long time ago
