I think there is merit to the statement AS is withholding F for sale due to the chances of an aircraft swap. I've seen a couple planes go from F0 to F7 the day before departure and the F seat map (not a good indicator) was not full. Now this may have been folks changing plans last minute, but interesting to speculate.
