Thanks, sort of what I figured... Final question for you: Were all JL and CX flights being booked with the operating carrier's flight number, or were any being booked as an AA codeshare? If any were an AA codeshare, I wonder whether that changes the award type from an AA award to a OW partner award? I do not know one way or the other for sure, but am guessing someone here could give a definitive answer.
An AA codeshare cannot be booked (as a codeshare) on an award ticket; the flight can only be booked under the operating carrier's flight number.
