Companies will absolutely pay for O, which is why that cabin is often oversold by a large margin (at least on UA)
To cater to the high end leisure travelers, maybe add back an F cabin. A F-O-Y config (maybe go to something like 42 inches of pitch for O to further differentiate it from Y, but keep it well below F so that we don't have the lack of differentiation we had between J and F of old days
I think you understood something. People are paying for J, as I have stated before I have a friend who is a purser on the ATL-CPT route, he informed me that people are paying to sit in D1, doesn't matter who pays for the ticket, whether it's the company and the passenger pays the upgrade, people are paying to sit in D1.
