Original aircraft was 788 i.e. no F

Does anyone know whether the F cabin will be left unused or used as extra Club seating for (hopefully) Gold card holders?
F cabin will be used only when J is oversold. You can set up an alert on EF to monitor if block gets removed at any time. Mind even if F cabin opens up for selection, it doesn't guarantee you'll end up sitting there - BA may decide to close the cabin down at the last minute and shift you back into less desirable seat in CW.
