The Award & Upgrade tool is designed to filter out class codes on flights that are not of the searched airline. If there is a BD flight paired with a VS flight you'll see there are no classes/quantities listed for the VS flight, it doesn't mean there is availability on the VS flight, we're just listing the connecting flight so you know what it is.
Please tell us the exact search (city pair, specific date, class, connecting city if any, etc) so we can see the results you are referring to if that's not it.
