I'm confused, is the BA prime flight some short europe segment?

So you have say a 001 ticket now thats something like
JFK-LHR (AA coded/ BA op)
LHR-CDG (BA prime)
CDG-LHR (...)
LHR-JFK (AA prime)

But they (BA?) kicked it back from ticketing? And the only way would be to get JFK-LHR BA prime?

very curious because i've never gotten this silly upgrade thing on BA to work. not sure how non-FTers would ever use it

only one time I got close was IRROPS where i got moved to a W fare on a BA prime on a 001 ticket, but I ended up doing an airport upgrade instead so didn't get to try it
