If you count the segments, you'll see it comes to 22. I meant that using a OWE coupon for an Eagle segment is unwise (IMO) just as adding in doglegs (LAS-DFW-YVR) is silly just because of AA's cr@ppy hub structure and lack of presence on the west coast. Fly on AS between the two, save two segments that can be better used elsewhere.
The same goes (IMO) for JFK-YYZ. $30 cab ride to La Guardia and you can ride on an MD-80 in F (so 60 tier points and happier knees) instead of an Eagle Y flight from JFK.
In the weird world of xONExs, all flights are valued equally, whether they're CX first class flights from LA to HK or Eagle RJs to Vegas. Not equal IMO.
