Agree.
Some people will think it's worth paying more to go from Y to Y+, some people will think for mid haul and daytime flights that J is no longer necessary and drop to Y+. So long as the earth doesn't stop spinning and most long hauls still have overnight segments, J customers will stay in J whilst those in Y who can afford it, will now be in Y+.
So long as CX don't let Y+ creep into regional too much it only can only be a winner for them.

I agree with everything in your post and I am this demographic captioned here. My problem is that I don't think that CX has presented a product proposition that justifies my extra outlay for the prices that they are asking. I just wish they hadn't been so stingy on the seat layout and other aspects of the service or else I would definitely shell out the extra $$$.
