A quick search on AA.com (US site) shows they are still selling two J seats on each of the two non-stops from PHL. Expert Flyer shows J2 for both as well. Delta also has a flight from PHL at 6:20 that is J5.
Edit to add plenty of seats in J on BA 216 from IAD.

Thanks. As an aside I am able to view Apollo GDS and they show zero availability on both AA PHL-LHR flights (unlike Expert Flyer). Generally I would trust GDS over EP for last seat availability.
The problem with connections is I have onward flight LHR-INV which only flies once daily. My preference is alt flight and not fight EC 261.

Thanks. The fact AA is still selling J seats while BA who has cancelled their flight and now downgrading passengers because AA will not release the inventory is even more frustrating. If you look at the PHL-LHR flights on AA metal the space exisits, but as BA flight the availability is 0 in J....but same flight as AA ticket is different story. Hard to fathom the lack of customer service which is embedded into BA & OW Alliance

Hope it's okay to add a question to this thread. My spouse and I are booked on a flight this Sunday from SJC to LHR. This is our first time in CW, so super excited. But now I cant access the seat map on that leg of our trip, and I know it's a mixed fleet route. I haven't received any notification that it has been cancelled, but I remember that the last time there was a strike they did cancel some SJC flights. There are still CW seats available for this Friday before the strike starts.
Would I be able to call BA and ask to switch to Friday, even though I haven't received an official cancellation?

Ms.O, I tried a dummy booking for your flight in business for next Sunday and while the site was willing to sell me a CW ticket, it would not show me a seat map. I tried another dummy booking for your flight on another date (sometime this August) and it would not show me a seat map for selecting my seat as well. While I am not an expert on BA's web site, my guess is it is a temporary web site issue.

In the previous dispute it was kept in the main Mixed Fleet thread, which has some merit for comparing with the previous 8 strike sequences. I guess this is a slightly different state of affairs. In the main MF thread there is a link already in place for "what should I do about this?".

Closing the loop on my original post that started this thread. Altho 2 J seats existed on the PHL-LHR service on AA metal, BA would not permit me to use - apparently as AA would not. Have agreed to fly Y on AA metal with little expectation of EC 261 help as ticket will be re-issued and BA have suitable argument that I was offered choices. So much for OW partners helping each other's clients!

Further reading has strongly indicated that EC261 is irrelevant in strike action.....so I shall await my $130 refund (based on experience) for the downgrade.
