In your example, my guess is that agents are used to booking RTWs in the usual booking inventory (A, D, L for the most part).
But I mean, even if you autoprice a regular TATL AA F itinerary, it will book into different codes on connecting sectors which don't offer F class, and the agent will see that.
It just seems completely inexplicable to me that a person trained to book itineraries would be unfamiliar with booking code exceptions.
