Truth is that I've been checking JFK-HKG lately and even day of and other "last minute" date checks have not shown much F opening up.

Yes. Seems like they only release if more then 1 seat is still available. All F1's are not showing. F2's show 1 available, F3's show 2 available.

Do DL awards go back to inventory? I'm about to cancel 2 J award seats from JFK-ATL-HNL/HNL-LAX-JFK (were all lie flat when booked. Haven't checked since) from Jan 21 - Jan 31. If they go back to inventory, I'd be happy to donate the availability to someone interested.

NICE! Great way to burn 70k AA
just pray that they'll allow you to check a bag
Also note Ex LHR flights in J/F class incur about $300 in fees

Also Ex LHR they allow you to check bags, since there are no extra strong headwinds.
