Thanks - and this is where my understanding breaks down. If I do a Student Universe search without logging in, AA is often not shown as the carrier (though easily figured out by flight times and connections), but revealed on logging in.... so it seems like some Student Universe fares are far enough the opaque/not available to the general public category to make me cautious.
