If that was meant as an insult, it was a pretty poor one as I don’t even fully grasp what you’re saying.

Usually there isnt seats available at the airport, but if you really want to take a chance, show up at start at check in and ask again.
based on past loads though, J class is always full.
Thanks, that is helpful.

Helpful as well. No status. Ironically, I am Qantas Platinum and Krisflyer Gold but BR wouldn’t match, even to silver, and even though I have requisite mileage when you look at past years travel on those combined with what I’ve already done with them.
An interesting data point: we know that EVA ML award inventory is separate than EVA ML upgrade inventory, but what is interesting is that there is an award seat on this flight in J, but the upgrade still hasn’t cleared. An outright redemption is only 15k more than the upgrade cost, so it’s quite surprising to me they would want to try to sell this before clearing their own members.
Even though I (apparently) belong in Y, I’ll keep hoping for the best!
