It is available.. I just found it.. but the fare is $1,967... just put in AUS-GIG with a 12/4-12/10 date and you'll find:
12/4
UA5585 AUS-IAD
UA861 IAD-GIG (stop at GRU)
12/10
UA861 GIG-IAD (stop at GRU)
UA3701 IAD-AUS
Q class, fare $1,967.
You have to scroll down a ways to find these options on the flight selection list. Other options through IAH & PTY are cheaper. The TAM code share sounds like a great deal.. I would take it if I didn't care about using a GPU..it will likely not be upgradeable except with miles+copay.
