Is Award Availability Allocated to Specific Airlines?
I'm trying to book an award and see a particular CX availability on BA's site and via KVS. Alternatively AA tells me there is no availability and the KVS awards/OneWorld also shows no availability.

I've heard phone agents claim award allocation can be toward specific airlines and not the alliance as a whole but it was my belief that those particular flights were being blocked (eg UA and O*A flights a few years back). Is this phantom BA availability?

Is there another explanation?
