You've reported all the tricks I've tried (some successfully) to find them on AA.
There was 1 weird thing recently, where I couldn't get a QF connection with an inbound CX for an AAward - had to connect the next day, within 24hr. As soon as the booking was ticketed, I could get the same day connection. I'm guessing here, but maybe once the booking is in the QF system, all QF availability may show, and thereby change to it ?
Let's hope that this will be the case. The ticket has been sitting in ON REQUEST mode for 72+ hours on the AA site. Interestingly, it shows up as CONFIRMED on the Qantas site, so I assume there is just a backlog at AA. Once it officially tickets, I'll try this one final trick to see if availability suddenly appears. I'm not holding my breath!
(Business availability is also not showing up via the Alaska Airlines award search, for what it's worth.)
