Not doubting you - I had just assumed because I was always rebooked into full Y it was SOP. I'm always down to learn something new!
I do know that the fare paid is transferred with the ticket to the new airline. I flew on on DFW-IAH-LGA itinerary last December and had used a 016 e-cert for it. I basically only paid $40 out of pocket. When I was rebooked onto AA DFW-LGA nonstop and I looked at the PNR online, I was rebooked into Y, but AA site showed my e-ticket cost was $40.
