I just spoke to our Corporate Travel Agent. She had not heard of such a thing and contacted both Qantas and American Airline. Neither of them said they new anything of the sort.
Gary, could you give us more details?
Is it possible she was not booking you on the OW RTW fare? Booking you on flights with full A class (not necessarily full F class - thank you AA revenue management).
My dad's ticket was only issued last week so definitely after the 26th of July.
