Well availability has changed and 2692 doesn't seem to have any availability in coach.
But FC is showing J/D/I availability on both legs.
However, as you state there is no fare currently published that books into "I" inventory that is valid for this flight (they probably all had advance purchase requirements of 7+ days, and possibly required round/trip purchase).
There are, however, fares that books into "D" inventory: K0AIZRD1, H0AHZND1, and H0AIZRD1. However, the first also requires K inventory to be available, and the second two require H inventory (2nd is nonrefundable, 3rd is refundable), so, without checking AA.com, I suspect you probably wouldn't be able to book those flights now (it would kick you up to a J fare most likely).
