I had also booked October PHL-LAX flights on the 777 long before the cargo schedule came out. My November flights are a trip I have to take regardless, so whether it goes back to a narrow body won't change my trip plans. Plus, the RT ticket was something like $160 at the time of booking.

I have 77W flight DFW-MIA legs in October.
Looks like a guarantee upgrade at this point -- only 11 J/F seats are sold on the way out; 6 J/F seats sold on the way back. Weirdly, a lot of the other A321 and 737 flights appear much fuller in both coach and F.
Roundtrip DFW-MIA tickets are $100 in coach, $900 in First.
Unfortunately, the grace of low fares are never bestowed on us outstations -- Adding in the E145 SWO-DFW legs (i.e. same dates SWO-MIA) brings the fares to $400 on the same flights in coach, $1150 in F.
(and those E145 legs are still only half full; not exactly a situation of limited space)

same dates
500 in Y, 750 in F
And OKC DFW MIA flights that use the nearly empty widebodies on the dfw mia legs are 400 in Y and 1200 in F. Like I said in other posts, I have seen very little in the way of bargain fares of the Covid era.

When does AA release/update its domestic widebody schedules for upcoming months? How far in advance?
I'm looking at flights from PHL -> LAX in mid-February (which I assume will have at least one or two wide bodies) and right now it's still only showing the A321s.
We're only about 10 weeks out, gotta be soon, no?

February schedules should be more realistic in Mid December. If the widebodies are still providing such great domestic yields like Vasu Raja said they are, then it would stand to reason we keep seeing them on those kinds of routes until Europe and Asia flying ramps up <hopefully> in the Spring/Summer.

I will be flying it later this week as well. My fare was $168, which means they are collecting $125 before fees/taxes, or $62.50 each way, from me. If the flight is full of those fares, it won't last. Booked it early when there was wide open availability to upgrade with points + copay. No brainer.

The question is how many elites are paying attention to the schedule more than the aircraft when booking a trip PHL-LAX where there's a 440pm on an A321 and a 605pm on a 787. Ditto for the red eye back where there's a 1030pm on a 787 and an 1109pm on an A321.

For my upcoming trip in a few days, J was still selling up until a day or two ago.

You are also forgetting than many passengers connect in PHL so this makes it easier for AA to fill the F cabin.
