It's what it is. I don't know if you want to meet the spending requirement for the points.
I agree - even though it was a delta directive and I’m not sure how much it actually costs VS for all these F & J tickets, I booked mine yesterday. Availability was extremely slim pickings from June through end of November. It was poor, but much better than that, even just 1 week ago.
FRA was hit and miss, but I managed to find a Saturday departure and a return which was at the very limit of what would pass as suitable for me.
Have a few miles left and hoping this sweet spot might last for bookings up to spring 2022, for cherry blossom season.
