*SIGH*
When AC 142 used to be YVR YUL with a stopover in YYZ, you would only get one flight segment credited towards your status. That's one example of many I can give.
So sure, you can go by the definition of your above "bold", or you can go with mine, which affects your status. Of course, I have no idea what your initial intent was by asking this (whether it affected your status, or you just asked just for the hay of it).
