Yes, it's possible; just as AA has some types of award seats ("Web Special" and "AAnytime") that are available only to AAdvantage members, but not to partner carrier programs.

As for Ethiopian/Egypt airlines - do they have a good business class? First time heading this way so really only familiar with the US carriers, BA and AF.
