What
sdsearch thought they observed was the other way around. IB had availability BOS-MAD. AA did not have availability on LAX-BOS (standalone) but apparently did have availability on LAX-BOS-MAD (as well as BOS-MAD standalone). That is certainly within AA's powers to do; whether they do is not really clear (because what
sdsearch really observed was that LAX-BOS wasn't available
after, not before, they booked their ticket).
