UA does not release a lot of C redemption to *A. Some people say that availability is a bit better at Aeroplan and M&M for UA C seats. The other *A airlines can hardly offer any seat in UA C if not last minute.
Probably, they fill their planes with cash upgrades and the many tools their own FFP offers to upgrade

I was able to booked EWR-TXL for late october at the beginning of october, which I changed to EWR-LHR about a week before departure (both in C). Read somewhere that UA C seats only are available on other *A airlines if UA releases saver awards in their own system. I guess chances are better if it’s both during low season and quite close to departure?
