No Blackout Dates does not mean
No Capacity Controls. This is an important distintinction which is true of
all rewards programs, not only AAdvantage. No blackout dates is a trivial claim which means there are no dates on which AA has
predetermined that no awad seats will be offered. There are still capacity controls. When the sAAver award inventory is depleted you will need to redeem for an AAnytime award.
