Okay, thank you.

I just checked and it only show 63 AB/JK and 64B on the upper deck available to purchase. The main deck is completely wide open to purchase with on 18B and 20E blocked. I understand that I should go ahead and purchase and the price listed now will not be going down. With that said, I'm hoping to purchase by mid-month as I have a couple of other actual tickets to purchase as well for an earlier flight. (on AA, not BA)

On a side note, I have my AA membership number in the system, but it reflects the below:
Alternatively, you can book your seat for free when online check-in opens, 24 hours before your flight departs.

It does not appear to pick up the status for me right now so I am definitely not comfortable waiting for the free seats to open.
