I found the reason. The claim is 1st is full MSY-LAX even though the seat map shows empty.
The Monday after JF is May 2. There are 3 MSY-LAX non-stop on the schedule and there are F seats available on all, the first flight is wide open and the second has 3 seats left, but they are only selling F, no GAP on both of them for $1,345. The 3rd flight at 6:55 PM has 2 P available. The early flight MSY-SLC-LAX has A and G available.
The above is based on a trial OW booking I just did.
As an aside, I wouldn't spend $1,345 for F on an A319 on that route.
