FWIW, there is lots of upgrade availability -- roughly 35-45% of flights have C>0 on JFK-LHR and back over the next two weeks. Including a good amount of C4-C7. (But no U or Z availability in that timeframe; that said my experience is the saver awards do pop up periodically. They're less likely to show close-in even on lightly-booked flights, as AA wants you to redeem AAnytime.)
