Dunno. Might just be a matter of finding a TA who's responsive-- this one is -super- responsive. They did not actually take over the booking that AA ATW desk made, they completely rebooked it using "their GDS, Galileo/Travelport." They sent me a new record locator, showing all the flights. The record locator showed up on AA.com and the TA states "ticket will be on American Airlines"
I forwarded the emails to Gardyloo for some opinions and he had some observations, which he can certainly share if he cares to.
I'll be checking in each day with this TA and will keep all posted.
