Book and cancel and rebook to secure availability?

Yup. Though I guess if you have TA connections that's the way to go.

Why would BA/AA care? You're holding QF inventory.

Sorry, that was ment if you hold BA/AA space.
But they actually do shut you down, (per known stories) but the other still can shut you as well

You know of QF shutting down? Aand even they do, who cares  ;)

You heard of AA/BA shutting down when holding QF inventory? Is that what you're saying?

Who cares? People who can't every 2 days get a new PCC.

AA/BA shuts down for holding their space

Since I'm watching this route:

EWR-HNL United Business Saver (at least 2)
3/2
3/5
3/9
3/10
3/23
3/24
3/30

HNL-EWR United Business Saver Return (at least 2)
3/8

Don't know if these are in lay flat.  Return seems much more rare.

Too bad there's always such poor availability. When the time is right, I think a stopover is going to have to happen.
