agree with lallyr...although here's what happened with me...my 9W F was purchased 3 weeks ago...but i called AA to get my brother a seat on the same flight ...they said no inventory from 9W...put them on hold..called Jet and told them the story...told them my dad was Platinum etc - verfied his details..- then conferenced the AA agent and they talked some techno booking people stuff between them and got me a seat...little bit around the system..but as saad said, if you persist...there is a way...I'm sure they hold out for paid tickets but closer to departure - they might release some...keep trying is all i can say to doubled79..good luck mate..and in case you are wondering...the pesterin is well worth it..
