If AC could sell more J tickets, don't you think they would have more J space? This is not about you being able to upgrade, it is about them getting $$ for the cabin.
For all of you who complain about rattiness etc. of AC's current 763 fleet -- go try flying UA Envoy class. I was on a 767 EWR-DUB last week, and felt like I was on Air Gambia. Dirty, rundown, old, uncomfortable, bad food, you name it. Blech.
Are you referring to UA or US? I think US is the one with the really bad business class. I flew VCE to PHL on US and it was almost funny how bad it was.
UA Business Class is actually pretty nice in my experience.
I have to agree with your comments by the way. No airline would install J seats simply so passengers can upgrade- that would be financial stupidity. Anyway, I am not sure what the problem is- if the fare YYZ to HKG is really 10 400 as one poster wrote, making a round trip ticket over 20 000 dollars, there will be plenty of seats to upgrade as all the travellers will be flying in CX First Class which is cheaper
