I've heard multiple reports of this happening, even though I would imagine it's not the policy and probably happens on accident. Probably something to do with the rebooking, perhaps if it's on a partner. Maybe it has to be on the JL or CX flight number? It wouldn't give you the AA EQM multiplier, but it MIGHT give you the partner one for J which would be better than the AA Y 1xEQM. All that said, you really don't have anything to lose there as worst case scenario you get your ORC of 1xEQM on the AA flight.

With JJ I'd expect it to be very, very difficult. While it's true that there's a policy to _try_ and accommodate upgraded, ticketed AA pax on OneWorld partners, over time its become evident (even if not entirely clear) that it's much easier (for sure) and much more likely on JBV/ATI partners as opposed to other OneWorld airlines.
I believe they can rebook you directly in J, but it all depends on the load factors of the rebooking flight.
Highly doubt that would go through. AA agents are prohibited to backtrack and rebook when there are better options around.
Can someone give any insight if AA will bent any rules, including MPM, and valid fare basis to rebook passengers due to IRROPs?

That obviously goes without saying.
Most definitely they can and will as/if needed.

i've misconnected DFW-ICN twice in the past 6 months. PNS-DFW-ICN, was in paid first. When PNS went mechanical, told the agent to rebook in KE F. No problem. MCI-DFW-ICN (J) but had used SWU to upgrade to F. Told agent to rebook me EY DFW-AUH-ICN. No problem. But would only rebook in J not F. Understandable.
