Looks like it's blocking all bookings out of CAI with that error. I can't even get it to go LHR or MAD. The first segment on QR has always created that error, but for it to block RJ and AT as well is new and it doesn't seem to want to put the first segment on BA or IB. I even tested the AI tool as well, it'll route onto IB or BA, but won't price. Hopefully this is temporary, but something tells me it's not a bug.
Completely make ex-CAI no use for me because I credit to AA, so don't want any long AA or BA segments to get one of them to book it. I don't know QF will book one manually without QF segments like the OW tool does when it sends bookings to QF. JL has extra fees but might be the only way to do it now.
**Edit: This is only ex-CAI. Other points of origin in the region are working as usual with RJ, BA, etc. on the first segment. Of course none of them have an attractive base fare.
