Oct 12, 2019 is a Saturday. There have been multiple times in the past where QR only released business class availability to/from USA for Mon-Thu departures, never Fri-Sun. Since this pattern has come and gone several times, you should always expect that it
could return, and consider workarounds as a backup in case it does return
But of course, this current case seems to slightly different, in that it's a specific almost-two-week block that's zeroed out.
