Would SDC give EWR-AAA in P, and AAA-XXX in Y if AAA-XXX does not have P available? Planning to get a P fare later but not sure how that particular case would work.
Most reports suggest that, if SDCing by app, it only uses the current rbd of the segments. If booked into P, you will only get SDC options with P on both segments and it will not offer delegations to Y. An agent might be more flexible, but would probably require a reasonable and/or legal routing.
