CX seems to be particularly bad in showing the real inventory (maybe they view it as a trade secret). I've learned to ignore the numbers, and just reserve the flight I want -- so far 100% success rate, even when booking with 0 inventory showing. Maybe it has something to do with their large off-network business (consolidator and other non published fares). A fascinating business model, and apparently a very successful one.
