Why did they give you the BA RTW number? Was it so that you go and try your luck with them? Or was it because they are considered the "definitive source" when it comes to interpreting the rules (the pdf version on the Oneworld web site is authored by BA). I had a battle with BA last year (which I won) regarding their interpretation of the old backtracking rule - see post #91 in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...cpt-done5.html

They seem to be telling people to try another airline if you don't agree with how AA is interpreting the rules(as in maybe you will have better luck with somebody else but we aren't going to read it that way). They did the same with me and a couple of other people have reported something similar.
