You could also make the argument that the lack of a PY cabin doesn't create a very easy way to get to the top of the upgrade list.
You could also make the argument that with a better product (Pods) they will raise prices and that will right-size supply and demand. Is the ratio of J to Y the relevant metric or is it the # of people willing to pay for J on any given route vs. the number of available J seats? Maybe I'm not understanding your logic, so feel free to school me on that one.

And again, they may think they have the supply/demand thing figured out as their objective is to go out at J-0 on every flight, and if they miss a couple of opportunities to sell more they may think that's better than going out with empty seats.
