you think so? Premium unbundled will look like premium fares - a bit, not economy + a bit. I can't image so many people in the market for a $500 Y ticket will be buying a $2000 J ticket (vs. a $2500 J ticket) .
I *can* see AC just unbundling for non D+ (no lounge, no seat assignment) as a pure money grab.
