Does not sound right to me...any experiences?
They can waitlist you, and send a request to revenue management to see if they can open up A inventory for you. As to whether or not they will, I don't have a lot of experience to go by, but I'd be surprised if they would give up 5 seats to you.
Another option is to get booked in L, waitlisted for A, and cross your fingers. We did this starting a DONE4 from ARN on BA (booking only a week or so in advance), and got the D seats at the airport (but are still trying to get 125% of miles on AA rather than the 25% we got because of the original L booking).
