I found very little availability on UA, NH, OZ, SQ, or TG. There were 3 flights available:

OZ202 (ICN-LAX) 8/30 J
CA987 (PEK-LAX) 9/1 Y
CA983 (PEK-LAX) 9/1 Y

So I don't think it is another great SMI/J conspiracy or the evil doings of SHARES.

Just my personal speculation ...

The period 7/25 to 8/26 is an OZ blackout period.

This period (7/1 to 9/1) may include blackout periods for other carriers.

It could be that the award availability has already been snapped up.
