What do you mean? Do you mean that the inventory that you had on hold was supposedly going to be released for sale again? Because that’s not how revenue management works. It might be released for sale again, but it might not. There’s no way to know (unless you have access to AA’s proprietary revenue management algorithms and data). And if AA doesn't release the award inventory, there’s really nothing you can do, unfortunately.
