I'm pleasantly surprised by it since I'm absolutely nobody (Mrs doesn't have any status at all) flying on Econ Standard fare. I guess there must be very few status passengers onboard.
Take the win! I don't see the room for too many of these lately as pretty much every flight I've been on in ages has almost all the J seats committed prior to the gate.
