So you suggest that if someone were to cancel their low mileage Y award ticket a few weeks before on a flight that is otherwise sold out (or oversold) that ticket should go back into the for sale inventory? I disagree with you.
And please show me any other airline who automatically puts canceled award tickets back into inventory as award tickets because I doubt you'll find one. With the dynamic pricing models that airlines (and hotels, rental car companies etc..) use, it's difficult to do so.
