Well to a newbie I think it is misleading. The flight is bookable as an award, the flight number isn't.

So if you say to an agent "I see there's a flight AA6139 JFK-LHR at 7pm - can I book that as an award?", what they should say is "That's actually a BA operated flight, but yes you can book it as an award [under the BA code] if there are award seats available." It would be misleading to simply say "no, that flight is not bookable as an award."
