aa.com seat map currently shows 5 available business class seats.
EF search shows "at least 7" from the results page, but then only 5 from the seat map page.
AA may be willing to oversell Business because they know they can make room by upgrading some passengers from Business to First (either op-ups or clearing upgrades currently waitlisted using an instrument). The flight is currently F7 J7 with 8 unassigned seats in F. I bet if another 1 or 2 F fares sold, it would go down to J6.
