Yet the seat map is actually showing 16 J seats with 2 of them booked. I would not want to book it now and they have difficulties to change our packages when J becomes available. Any ideas?
I don't have anything helpful to add, but YOW is in a similar boat. YOW-PUJ/CUN are exactly as you describe, yet the new YOW-MBJ/NAS routes are showing J as available. On Fridays, YOW-NAS and YOW-PUJ are scheduled such that the same frame could fly both, so it seems bizarre that one would be a Lynx 7M8 and one would be a regular mainline frame.
