Oh well, possibly to be expected but despite starting off by stressing not wanting any kind of reprice and floating the idea for comment the AA rtw agent just amended the record to drop the segments and said all done. So it's off for repricing - which means I don't think it can be issued till Monday when I'm flying - avoding that was the legit reason I stressed not wanting it to go off for repricing.
With essentially no overlap in working hours between the helpdesk and here it's all fun and games. Off to do better things. Will post back if there's anything interesting to add but I think I'll probably either skip the rtw or ticket a short itin and work it out later.
