On BA award search, I see only business availability (though this is a F route). I've read somewhere that JAL put 772 as placeholder before the official schedule is out.

My question is, if BA award search shows only Business (no F due to 772 placeholder), does USairways see the same thing or can it book F? On the same note, does anyone knows roughly when JAL release the schedule for Nov/Dec 2015?

Thanks

Japan Airlines is only flying their 77W with First class until March 28th 2015. After that it reverts to a 2-class 787 IIRC.

You'll have to wait until the next timetable release to see if they'll bring back F, but given the huge award availability (even at short notice), I'm not convinced they'll have a market for it.
