Is this true generally? I thought the 16 segment limit was something intrinsic to Sabre and AA, rather than an industry-wide hard limit. Suppose you have a 20 segment ticket with no AA flights at all, wouldn't that be e-ticktable? Or a 20 segment ticket with only four AA segments (meaning AA only sees those four in Sabre)?
