Until I called AA who told me I could have the flight i wanted outgoing but not returning, even though it is available on Alaska's website, it isnt on Americans

What a waste
When you called to check on availability BEFORE doing the transfer, how was it?
Are you blaming AA for what AS makes available to it

What is meant by "it is available Alaska's website, it isnt on Americans"
You aren't going by the AA website, right?
