I have had sucess using EK (though I have not tried Europe - only JNB). From what I have been told, the process is quite slow.
Step 1 - CO requests seats from EK.
Step 2 - EK confirms seats (this can happen in seconds or hours - up to 24 hours)
Step 3 - CO confrims booking
Step 4 - wait 24 hours
Step 5 - CO can ticket
I STRONGLY suggest that you only attempt this with the SLC call center. Both IAH and TPA seem unwilling or unable to handle this much work.
As for AF, "O" is the correct bucket and there are often (in my experience) seats available.
Good luck.
