I knew this was the problem because on the route I was interested in (IAH - SHV) there are about 9 daily flights of which 2 are operated by CO itself and they were readily available for US/UA redemption while the rest were CO Express operated and (again at least until recently) you could easily book these with OnePass miles but not US Dividend Miles
No, they were on CO and United, but US Airways couldn't see them. And this was with 3-5 different agents who all said it is pretty common. I did notice that UA/CO flights in the next 1-2 months were available, just further out there were many issues.
