Is this an example of what you mean:
9/15/2016: MSN-SYD
9/19/2016: SYD-MSN
8/19/2016: Date reservation held
8/20/2016: Date reservation ticketed -although fare had been "pulled"
Fare Basis: OLX4QT1
This fare will show on EF (even today) using the flight dates about and the 8/19 ticketing date. A 8/20 ticketing date and it does
not show up. Since I booked this flight, I can be quite certain that I booked this on 8/19 and ticketed on 8/20 because both AA.COM and EF showed the fare had been pulled - no longer offered for sale - not just outside the criteria. Yet the 24-hour hold was in fact honored. BY AA.COM. No human needed. (If this is in fact an example of what you mean?)
