I'm not sure what you mean. EF has not shown award availability for BA for quite sometime (not sure it's "years" but certainly getting close to that), but I believe it still shows fare information, seat maps, etc for paid tickets which is what the poster you replied to seemed to be referring to.

That said, I do fear that EF is slowing dying and it's certainly becoming far less useful for OneWorld fliers, since being sold off. The number of OW carriers that EF no longer displays award availability for just continues to grow. And I honestly don't really understand why given there is an increasing number of new tools springing up with each passing month (some of which are free or at least "freemium") that can show some of those awards (though certainly not all)
