I checked this a week ago with the helpdesk, when I was about to book the JFK flights with AA flight numbers. Ended up purchasing two separate tickets and the JFK flights with AY flight numbers, continuing onwards on AA.
I purchased AA tickets HEL-JFK-MIA r/t in Y just last week and to my surprise was able to reserve seats on AY5/6 at AY website without any problems.
