So I doubt it's worth the effort.
What's the issue with QF here? Is the JFK segment near fully booked all the time?
Recently, I tried getting on QF108 JFK-LAX in F as part of a QF F FF award. No way. J was available ex-JFK and lots of Y. Since CO was the issuer (and they never have any availability) they put me in BE on DL instead.
