Yes, this a strategy that works for many, but for me is not a good one, because I complete OWEs in 4-6 weeks, and always on tight schedules, so the itinerary I first setup is usually the one I end up flying, with no reissue. If I waited until that first AA station many of my hard to get seats would be long gone.
