I had a saaver F seat get released on Monday for a route in October. On an A319! Only a 40-minute flight, but with only 8 F seats that surprised me. Part of a larger trip and I have my Inbound AA flights back from Europe booked in a manner that I'm thoroughly happy with 9 months out. This time last year I would have laughed at anyone that told me they were planning to get to Europe in SAAver J on AA metal.

Been working equally hard for DL metal with VS miles on the outbound and best I can tell there's only a single DL route to mainland Europe with 2 Saver J seats within +/- 3 days of my desired travel date. That's looking across DL's website, FlyingBlue's website, and ExpertFlyer.
