ADM [Agency Debit Memo] query
Is it only the plating carrier who can issue an adm?
I'm wondering as I've got some ek sectors on an aa ticket and could get a better connection if the married sectors were broken. While I know ek would charge an adm for this if issued on their own stock, does the ticket being another carriers stock prevent them doing this?

You mean it isn't "Armas de Destrucción Masiva"?
Sometimes the overuse of abbreviations means questions may not get answered, though fortunately some of our members are familiar with some of even the most arcane of them. And Ltgfrk can give us lessons...
(If he chooses to do so I will add to the Glossary in the Wiki...)

Yes, the plating carrier can issue an adm but only if the married sectors originate with the pating carrier and if the adm was not issued by a third party such as hw or ep. If that's the case then the married secotors must be disjoined by ek in order for the plating carrier to remarry the sectors. However, the married sector could be disjoined and then remarried under a third party stock if both the plating carrier and ek were to issue a new adm under both the plating carrier and ek's 5d code. It may sound a little complicated but it's really just a couple of keystrokes.
