For some extra confusion, MindPearl also seem to operate the AA call centre in Brisbane, Australia, which deals with calls from quite a lot of the Asia Pacific region. Although I believe it's the same company as the AA GSA (General Sales Agent) in South Africa, the functions in the two locations are rather different.
The whole area of OneWorld (OW) ticketing can be a bit complex, so please don't be afraid to ask even simple questions. Most of us will try to help out newbies, given that we all had to begin somewhere. Obviously, reading the "stickies" is a bit of a prerequisite, given that a lot of fundamental information is in there.
Nevertheless, if you get stuck on an acronym, try a search & if that doesn't help, just ask.
