This particular case calls for a little flexibility in the interpretation of MCT, but it appears AA is not willing to go that way.
The MCT at SIN , for example, is shorter than the duration of the stop and so there is no issue doing so
If the MCT at YVR doesn't allow for the connection, then it is not surprising that AA will not ticket it.
