To review: aa.com is not selling seats in any classes on 950 tonight, neither is google flights, EF shows availability, and the EXP desk said that there were still "several" seats in J available for sale. Your comment about the phone rep above confuses me. I hadn't previously talked to a phone rep.
I was referring to the case in the other thread. In that situation, AA.com and the EXP line both said there was no availability, even though it showed on ExpertFlyer.
If AA.com shows no inventory but EF and the phone agents both see it, then it seems much more likely to be some sort of cache issue with AA.com.
