I also found that interesting. Shortly after buying the ticket it was J7 R7 D7, but changed to J7 R0 D0 a couple of weeks ago. I have to assume that nobody bought J during that time, and AA decided for some reason to stop selling anything but full fare around 3 weeks prior to departure.
Unless there’s a bunch of full-fare tix sold in the next 10 days, or unless the flight is swamped with EXPs and CKs in Y, I would rate my chances as fair to timidly good.
