Searching on Aeroplan site I see a few J seats on ET flights from ADD to Vienna, but the flights from ADD to YYZ or EWR are not there at 330 days out. For North Americans this is the best way to get back from Tanzania. Before the UA snafu these 2 flights were available every day.
Looks like ET has severely limited their J awards with UA miles for flights to North America cities.

That said, there are almost always seats available to LHR and FRA, from where you can get plenty of connecting options back to North America.

The UA displayed availability for the YYZ flights at least was phantom. ET never had those seats available, even though UA was displaying them every day. I've never seen Business Class awards actually available on the YYZ flight.

Was the ET J for EWR ever really available or was that phantom also?

UA has never fixed the ET glitch
The awards are there but there is a glitch on United.com as of exactly midnight last night Addis time (I was in the middle of a search when everything disappeared at exactly midnight so I can pinpoint the precise moment when it happened!) so nothing shows up there anymore. The seats are still available from other *A partners however.

Too late for me. I easily found and booked 2 J seats to JRO on TK via the UA web site. I did not have to call in and talk to anyone. ET flight times would have been better but Grabbed what I could when the seats became award seats available.
