Not to mention, once I issue that ticket it's only valid for 12 months and I can't refund the miles, so it would be really crazy of me to issue 3x tickets on a single award itinerary.
I think Jamie is an AA EXP, so he can redeem tickets with AA miles knowing there will be no cost to redepositing his miles later whatsoever.

So (if he has the AA miles) he can book every F seat CX releases from JFK for weeks on end, and hold them til day of departure.
MPC DMs are at a disadvantage here, given I don't believe even DMs have waiver from the US$120 cancellation fees.
