Still broken for me from DFW to EDI, even DFW to LHR. The crazy part is it is EVERYTHING, every day, for months and months and only BA flights are showing with award availability. I understand being late to pull the trigger on a MileSAAver fare but not like this. If this holds AA is effectively pulling award availability on entire routes.

The couple of award trips I'm following (including one for this weekend), are still showing saver awards. Pricing is seemingly changing sometimes hourly, but definitely some saver awards to be had for both economy and business.

I asked a Platinum agent. I booked a British Airways economy flight from LAS to BCN for next May with my miles as I was seeing that their milesaver seats become available as soon as the flights are available to book while American's are usually at least a few days behind. Then late last week EVERY milesaver seat from LAS to BCN completely disappeared from the system on any date. So when I called AA Platinum desk to get my seats assigned on British, agent told me that the 737Max issues were to blame for a lot of the system changes in the last week or so. So I guess I'm resigned to paying British's carrier outrageous carrier surcharges for now. Agent told me that I could switch to an AA flight later for no cost if they become available.

Just heard about this, I search PHL-CUN because that's a route I just took over the winter. I'm seeing sAAVer both directions, even non-stop, about half the days in the week for June/July. If I go all the way to August, sAAver econ becomes 12.5k, and Biz saaver opens up. This is on old version of the calendar view.
Random domestic PHL-AUS shows 1-connection at sasver levels for econ and biz, just very little availability. I don't think AUS is a hub, but there's no saaver non-stop.

First it was the 57.5 non-stop business class tickets from Miami to London, etc., gone, now they have removed the option to have to stop in NYC, Charlotte or Philadelphia, too. But hey, there is plenty of ones on BA for $650 bucks in taxes.
