That unexpected early clear is always so nice; congrats. As I said a ways upthread, my LAX-AKL rt next week cleared a month out for both ways, and man that was just like Christmas.
I don't have many bay area flights in my dataset (in sig). Since adding upgrade data only one rt DFW-SJC, which both cleared. But just guessing at it I would agree SFO-DFW is a really tough get.
That said, assuming there haven't been any AA list-order changes (per my post above about LAX-DFW on the 24th) I would still waitlist such a route if it was on the 789 or 321T (or any other lie-flat). It doesn't cost anything if you miss, and I'll pay $75+15k for that lie-flat every day and twice on Sundays.
