(new to forums so I am sure I wont use the proper terms) I am seeing the same thing that every day from now till at least Dec 12th is booked (except for business and first class). I have taken this flight a 1/2 dozen times over the last year and never had a problem. I do find it strange that the flight is booked solid for a month. I am though not a CX gold - do not fly enough to accumulate enough segments. ExpertFlyer.com seatmaps do seem to show availability.
Ohh well, I guess I am going Air Canada from Newark
