What results from this is less demand for full priced F purchases and more Y fares being upgraded to F - leading to slumping returns from their F cabin. This probably all started as the F product at US diminished in quality while other legacy carriers invested in theirs.

I can only see this trend continuing until improvements in F happen or they get larger planes for TC/TA routes. Frustrating.....
