It wasn't that JL's release time was different, there was just less competition and awards were still available when AA's window opened. I, too, used AA for JL back in the day, as you describe.
What's most regrettable is that JL did away with releasing F inventory inside of 14 days, the timing of which was also set in stone (I even booked through a phone agent one time, though I had to make small talk as I got through 30 seconds too early).
