Now I've seen some fares thanks to you good people and Jeez Louise, I can (nearly) fly J to Europe for the prices in the screenshots!
Thanks for the Matrix mini-tutorial on how to do that.
That's interesting. I guess they're protecting the premium seats because of fare differences - as best I can tell, Delta does this buy distinguishing between "First" and "Delta One".
Thanks for all the replies everyone.
It used to be possible on some fares to get the LAX/SFO-JFK F/J as part of another trip, but they seem to have done a good job of locking them out- too many lost premium seats I guess.
