You might be overinterpreting though. More to do with Y I suspect. Actually based upon set maps we should be able to get a feel for what the J seats will be. And they hve mde some noise about them being nice. So let's wait.

And with limited J and no PY the risk of being stuck in Y is higher than on any other AC frame. This all assumes that they stop throwing darts at random locations out of YUL and let us simpletons in YOW actually have some flights other than more frequent LHR service.
OTOH absence of a PY cabin has one big advantage: SEs in Y won't be stuck behind lower status in PY for upgrades.

(No that I taking chances any longer. But I did mnge to get a confirmed upgrade on a latitude fare on one of these for next summer. Admittedly not a case of the above...)
