I am flying west within Canada tomorrow (Apr 26) and most, if not all of the flights going West from YOW, YUL and YYZ seem full or oversold.

Would someone be able to check/confirm the loads of AC 63 for May 17th? I checked on BCD and they seem quite light...

J and O are just shy of 50% booked, with Y just under 75%.
Amusing how 70% overall load is now considered "light" and "empty"

But if you'd be willing to build us an app that shows internal numbers, I would be the first one to subscribe to it.

Any kind folks willing to check some availability for me? AE has none listed but seems to (? randomly) open some up.
miniRTW so looking for award J space.
Sunday June 23rd:
AC309 YUL - YVR @ 1830
AC33 YYZ - YVR @ 2015
If anyone can also comment on if there's some known method to how AE releases space that would be appreciated.
I've been checking daily and there would be days with no direct J availability, then today I noticed a few flights open.

I see no availability for AC309. There are available seats for AC301 and ACr1543
AC33 has 'X' (coach) available only.
Now comes the people telling me I'm doing it wrong!

From anecdotal evidence (because nobody here has actual proof, that I am aware of), R inventory is a relatively good indicator (but not necessarily exact) of I class availability (AP J rewards).
And this has nothing to do with EF per se... it's just that EF allows us to see these numbers, no different than the BCD Availability tool as per this thread's wiki.
Updated:
I just checked AC309 and AC33 for June 23 and at this juncture:
AC309 is R6
AC33 is R7
