This is about as favorable conditions as I can imagine at this point.

Thoughts on clearing?

If I had bought the seat, it would only be about $1200 more so I know that sounds like Im being cheap but I basically waste SWU every year thru non-use so Im trying to get something "back" from AA for a chance....

What LHR flight? What day of the week? It's impossible to say much without more details. As Antarius said above LHR in general isn't that hard to clear but everything depends on the route and time and day of the week etc. Flying DFW-LHR on a Thursday or Friday will be infinitely tougher to clear than JFK-LHR on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
