As of today (October 5) AA agent was able to see availability in both business and first
for various dates all the way till Nov 3rd. DFW-AUH is what I checked. Beyond that I was told there was only coach availability even though the Etihad site shows "Guest" space.
So still looking like ~30 days out it starts to open up.

I called the US center, looking for close in (within 3 weeks) from AUH to JFK, and they couldn't see anything but coach.

I booked AUH to SYD by calling the US call center... no issues.

Seems we have a very recent report (within past 3 weeks) where the author of the post linked below was able to have AA see 2 out of 5 AUH-JFK flights. He even states in the comments to that article (linked below) that it isn't a problem for the AUH-JFK route. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I thought both AUH-JFK and JFK-AUH both weren't working?

I really don't think he found actual F saver availability AUH-JFK. It's ultimately rather unclear though.
