I've only got enough AE miles(or whatever they are called)now for one more TATL J redemption and then I've finally burned through my AE miles stash.

I dont see what being E has to do with award availability?

Reason? Maybe YYZ-FRA has probably become prohibitive in terms of awards, many people are put off by the $1000+ co-pay that AC collects on this route.
