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.
