Just to add one more thing to the OP, four months is not that far out for award travel. People wait for these things and WILL book 330 days out (or whatever it is now). Chances are, in the 7 or so months since these seats became available, people have taken the FF seats. I know that I have booked AAdvantage awards up to 6 months in advance. I have had to book DL nearly a year in advance. IME, AA is by far the best.
