By 'central' I meant a point not associated to any specific country of origin except, of course, the country where the central point is located (USA in this case), working on the assumption that a US-based POS is [possibly?] the least likely to suffer from these capacity controls. Another benefit from this approach is the better synch between what the AA RTW desk sees and what half-blind tools like EF show (I was impressed by the 'view both options' capability of the KVS Tool).
