BA not making CW reward seats available?

This has been a particularly frustrating issue for me as it involves our honeymoon flights. First of all, there are still no F seats being offered on this route, despite rumours of 4-class birds coming down to Gatwick and picking up some of these Caribbean routes. However, the biggest issue I have is that BA have still not made any CW reward seats available on the LGW-ANU route over Christmas/New Year. I was able to secure WT reward seats on this route (out on Dec 21st, return on Jan 4th) but, despite checking every single day for the past six months, I have not been able to secure any seats in CW (or even WT+ seats).

I have spoken to EC on the Gold line about this a couple of times and they confirmed that they have not released a single CW seat on these routes over this period so far, they are however keeping an eye on this for me and will let me know if anything comes up. However, I notice that no CW seats are available to buy on the return leg now, so I guess that's game over.

Now, I appreciate that BA don't have to make reward seats available on every flight but I am really annoyed by this as we had deliberately put enough Avios aside for a pair of LH seats in F for our honeymoon and now find ourselves travelling at the back of the bus... On our honeymoon?? Now that's something we absolutely did not want to do and it has really taken the shine off what was supposed to be an absolutely perfect holiday.

So it would appear there is no hope for our honeymoon, but I thought I'd ask here anyway... So, here goes, does anybody know if there is anyone I can speak (or plead) to anywhere within BA who might be able to help us move further up the cabin on this hugely important trip? As I said, I have more than enough Avios points to spend on this!
