Whenever you're looking at partner award availability, you run the risk that the partners release award seats to their own frequent flyers but that it's not made available for AAdvantage mile redemptions. Have no idea if that's the problem here. EF should be able to answer authoritatively.
Exactly. You didn't make it clear what airlines flights had the issue, but if you are referring to HA, as noted in the Award search, the award classes for HA are:
First - Flex Award/Upgrade (P)
Coach - Flex Award (R)
Coach - Partner Awards (T)
Coach - Saver Award (E)
Coach - SuperSaver Award (Inter-island/Int'l) (U)
Hawaiian is known for withholding First award inventory from partners. So the P award class is not reflective of partner award inventory. HA doesn't share their First partner award inventory, only for Coach (T class).
