My reading of the rules is that the following two flights:

BOS-PHX on AA2435 (1 stop via ORD eff Feb 1)
PHX-BOS on AA2098 (1 stop via ORD eff Jan 31)

1) do not violate the "one transcon" rule for North America.
2) count as long-haul (>2,000) miles and thus give 180 BA tier points each way if booked as part of a DONE4 (BOS-PHX is 2,290 miles)
3) use only two of the 16 allowable segments (and two of the six NA segments)

If these are indeed bookable then one could, in principle, obtain 6X180=1,080 BAEC tier points from the 6 NA segments allowed in an XONEX that originates outside of NA.

Am I wrong to assume that this flights are permitted by the rules? Or is there a "gotcha" somewhere?
