Ah, that's another foible - the boarding pass
is linked to the seat rather than the fare. That is why it says "Economy Plus" or "Economy" depending on which part of Y the seat is assigned. It can also be wrong when there are multiple variants of an aircraft type, namely the 737. In that example, row 15 can show 'Economy' on an aircraft for which it's actually Economy Plus.
