Is there a reduced "sub-set" of D inventory that limits AA's access to general D?
It reduces the value of EF alerts because EF may show D available, but then you call AA and they cannot book it!

In addition to Point of Sale (POS), Point of Commencement (POC) may matter, too, and I think the problem with EF is that it cannot take POC into consideration.

My POS is Taiwan, but looking at POC MAD versus POC BKK, the D class availability on QF24/19SEP/BKKSYD is quite different (2 vs 7).
