Unable to book AA flights using BA Avios

Any comments on what’s happening with the issue of booking AA flights using BA Avios? It seems like there are well known problems and British Airways is aware of those problems, however, they keep saying that they are working on it. For more than three weeks I can not see any AA flights available, regardless of the destination or class of services. It is frustrating

Actually I have Amex membership rewards, so I have to transfer to BA, Hawaiian Airlines or Iberia only in order to fly with AA. It seems like none of those companies are showing availability with AA using points[/QUOTE]

I was trying to see if those other platforms could see the award space too or if it was just an Avios/Hawaiian thing.
