- the only AA flight on the itinerary was its codeshare on RJ's AMM-JFK flight

- just a few weeks later, there was a schedule change
- and when AA changed the ticket, it quietly moved us off the AA codeshare onto the RJ marketed for that flight
- I guess AA realised just how little it was going to make off that flight

- so we ended up with the ticket on AA stock, with no AA segments at all!
