The long and the short of it - when you add extra segments, it screws up availability. There's a bunch of reasons... third countries screw it up. Being on a barbie jet with only economy class (from YYZ to EWR on a Embraer135) will screw it up.

But using my above mentioned example, if I go ahead and book a W fare YYZ-EWR-HKG, even though it shows PZ0, my GPU will still clear instantly on EWR-HKG.
Amazing how many people out of YYZ have switched loyalty to United over Air Canada on Flyertalk.
