No. My references to A and Z are specific to JL.

AS agents were booking into EK award inventory that you couldn't see on the website via long sell.

Eventually AS agents got told "don't do that".

Native SABRE allows you to query for space in a particular bucket. Whether the AS agents will do that ("no, please book in a different inventory bucket because I told you") if some dude is jonesing for rebooking his JL F award is completely another story.
