I'd check it on the QR award search instead, they have all partners online now except JL. QR should also have a lower Avios cost than BA, since BA raised the Avios cost of JL and CX awards last year.

For a CX award, if AA has it, then all other OW partners 'should' have it as well, that's not a partner that AA has enhanced availability with.
For clarity, by "a cx flight" I meant a single segment flight with no connection. Good call to check with another partner. It is showing up with finnair and qr so seems ba specific.
