So uhhh.. I guess JAL is pretty busy these days? I guess so? I looked at flights 09/10 from ORD -> NRT and F class seats are pretty much sold out every day. Very strange. I guess if you can't buy a seat, you aren't getting one with points.

This is actually the best answer we could possibly get. It means if they expand capacity, or if sales have a down period, lots of seats will become available again. I had been a bit worried we were seeing fewer seats because JAL had been cutting back on releasing them.
If JAL's able to sell them all, I'm happy to hear they're doing so well.
