OMATA has written about EY guest availability via AA, with an interesting conclusion!
(I really wish he wouldn't tell all and sundry about such things, though )

Honestly, the hard product on A380 J is a little less private than F on their 77W/A340. The soft product is usually quite similar between the different units. Theres a slightly wider range of food and a slightly better booze selection in F but overall you wont miss out much. Plus, hit the Lobby on the A380 since its a shared F/J space and is a great place to just hang out or stretch your legs assuming you can walk straight after they liquor you upLooking at SYD-AUH. Not much F's for A380. Is there a significant difference between J on A380 to F on 77W?
Not sure why I was moved, zero availibility on the flight i was moved from but a call to AA yielded good results. I'll be watching this booking closely though.
Did you call EY to ask why you were moved?
Interesting, and concerning.
I didn't call Etihad because I thought considering AA were the issuing airline, I would have to start with them.
I have no idea why I was moved. All flights AUH-LHR on that day have 0 guest(award) availability. But there's still seats for sale.
But now that I've said all that, I think I should call Etihad to confirm the flights.
Agree in principle you normally need to contact the issuing airline to confirm changes/rearranges. But when trying to discover the root cause of an issue the operating airline is probably the best course of action.
He went on to tell me that he could see I'd reserved 4K for my seat but he could not get this reserved again. He said that nobody was able to reserve seats at all, the flight was blocked so I'd have to wait until I got to the airport.
That last part confused me, but I'm not sure what else to do as I have the electronic ticket receipt from Etihad with all the right details.
I've been ticketed PER-x-SYD-AUH on the one ticket. I'm taking the overnight flight from Perth and the A380 circa 9.45pm departure to AUH. Given it's the one ticket I assume there should be no issue with Qantas checking my bag through all the way to AUH and issuing me a boarding pass?
