Also, it’s completely clear why JX have gone for F seats placed into same cabin as J. If F is not selling, they will get rid of it and sell the seats as J Plus, as many do with bulkhead seats row. Actually pretty smart, I would say it is risky to install a completely separate cabin with F as a new startup like JX.
Also, the extensive use of third parties for lounges indicates they don’t want their own F lounge.

Apparently the F seats is the same as J, (Collins Aerospace Elements) but with some more pitch and a bigger TV.

I frequently check seats at EF and I rarely see any booked in the cabin. If they don’t upgrade pax at the airport, I don’t see their F class remain more then 1 year before it’s converted to Biz Plus.
Myself and everyone I know that has flown JX so far has never seen someone book in F. Even their upgrade cost at the airport is extremely high. At launch people were getting closer to $3k quotes, the offers lately are double or triple that.
