No, on MIA-JFK you'd have to book F to get the F seats.
You can however select PE seats (for a fee unless you have status) if you book a Y ticket. These seats are better than standard domestic F seats and it's not like the service is going to be all that different on this route so that's also a good option.

Been a while since I flew the AA 777 domestically.
Years ago, I recall being able to book J seats although it was coach service. Is that still a thing?
I see its a 77W. Is flagship service offered on these routes? Im guessing not. But would love ot snap a flagship seat. Perhaps its possible to upgrade w miles?

In J, you get a lie-flat seat; a substantial snack; complimentary drinks; a more serene environment.
With PE, you are constantly reminded that you are in Y.....bare bones back there.
It's a treat to get the 77W lie-flat seat on a relatively short flight. Is it worth an extra $85 per hour to you? That's a question only you can answer.

$259 to move from the Y cabin to the J cabin is normally a no-brainer for me, although your flight MIA-JFK is only three hours.

On the 77w, Mia-jfk. And it’s on the company dime so I figure why not.

Thanks. Just close enough to the J cabin to see and smell. 
Time to roll the dice on the upgrade lotto. But even if that fails, 3 hrs in PE for free is much preferred to the 3 hours in MCE DEN-CLT on a 100% jam packed 321 I just did.
PS...I knew there was no hope going onto this flight, but now that us lowly plats also get auto requested upgrades on every flight I was #16 on the list. Only 1 person cleared at check in.

Bummed a bit about AA's schedule changes for widebody service between LAX-DFW-SJU for this month. I knew last month I would be heading to SJU for at least a frequency of 2x/mo for June/July/Aug and was looking forward to trying to create a WB flight to/from LAX.
Well, I just searched for Wed/Thurs segments: LAX-DFW-SJU-DFW-LAX for 772 and came up short. Nada. Then I searched for Saturday flight options and ditto were the results. Seems as if the Cargo WB US domestic schedule has been scrapped for June 2022 with WB service between the two points. The LAX-MIA WB price point is a little steep in my opinion. But hey, that's what the market is commanding!

I'm really enjoying the 8 AM LAX-ORD being operated by a 788. I'll be taking it for my second time next month. It's a tough upgrade but as you can select a seat in PE as MCE it's glorious.

I had snagged 2 F seats on BOS-MIA on a 772 in October and was really looking forward to that but just got the EF alert that I'm now flying a 321neo. They seem to have pulled the 772 from this route. So bummed.
