Close in you can sometimes find availability. I found before in the past.

True. I have seen that. But if I want to plan a good trip including seats in First, I can't wait until the last minute.

Recently there has been lots of F availability on the LAX-JFK and vv route. Having a hard time finding non-Saturday J class to SFO or LAX.

When flying with company I find J to be much better than F.

Why?
In F seats face away from each other and I find them to be more claustrophobic while in J it feels a lot more spacious.

Again this is only flying with company flying alone you cant beat the privacy of F.
