It is not likely to be married segments because married segments IME are only enforced between segments on the same carrier. Since these are two different carriers I doubt it is a married segment issue.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I guess for me I don't always "click through" when I see something like that as I just assume it's married segments since that has become so common on the AA front.
