no redemption on CA cross strait WHY?

I tried to use asiamiles to redeem on cross-strait flight from TPE-PVG on CA.
last month, the agent said the flight is chartered. no redemption
NOW, cross-straight flgihts are schedule flights now.
I called again today, the agent said NO redemtion on CA TPE-PVG
because this kind of redemption ticket will hurt CX and KA profits. They only allow members to redeem CX TPE-HKG-PVG
(iroinically, members can get miles on TPE-PVG CA )


RIDICULOUS!
how come members can not redeem on CA TPE-PVG?
all CA parter members(UA miles SQ miles, CI miles) can redeem on CA TPE-PVG.
ONLY CX asiamiles are afraid! and technically block members for redemtion
just because CX are losing customors because of cross-straight flights!



CX asiamiles is really a coward! They have no reason to block members for redemptions. They should face the challenge of future cross-straight flights.
Not to mention that CA is their big brother now!
