However, when I tried to book this flight through IML, there were no seats available and both passengers were waitlisted. I called BR and they confirmed there are no seats available on this flight through IML.

Is it normal for BR to release less seats to IML members, but make them available to other *A programs?
The other carriers are probably showing phantom space. If BR reservations confirms no seats, no *A program is going to be able to ticket a seat.
