Not entirely. The AE flights book into Y inventory -- the highest priority fare code sold by Eagle, and offered even on overbooked flights. So you are almost guaranteed a seat on those flights, no matter what; and some are quite expensive to purchase. The rule change making AE flights book into Y occured less than a year ago and isn't well known, but it is there and quite nice (for D and A fares).
