It will be the system catching the permitted routing of the requested award and noting that it is not in compliance with EY's routing rules

For AUH-AUS, the following is a permitted routing

AUH-CHI/DFW-AA/B6/EY-AUS

so connecting in DFW from EY to AA would be allowed as a single award

For AKL-AUH,

AKL-EY/NZ/VA-BNE/MEL/PER/SYD-AUH

is the permitted routing via BNE. For EY's fares, AKL-BNE would need to be on VA or NZ , neither of which are partners of AA
