More RTW questions
I am getting better with the RTW rules, but I just want to make sure that my understanding of the following is correct:
I purchased an AONE3 ex-BKK. When issued, I utilized only 5 NA segments.
Am I correct that, by paying a $75 reissue fee, I could BOTH add a 6th NA A-class segment AND purchase up to two additional NA segments in any of A, D or L?
Am I also correct that the one transcon non-stop rule applies even if I purchase additional segments?
And finally, and I correct that, since I am already going to use my transcon non-stop with one of my A segments, it makes sense to purchase the add-ons in D, since an A seat and a D seat is the same on all AA flights except 3-class transcons and a couple of the 777 flights through MIA? (And, if this is the case, is the A and D inventory always the same on AA domestic flights, other than the 3-class flights?)

You are correct in all your statements, however...
If you are adding segments in the middle of your NA trip, you may be forced to allocate the A segments to the first six and the D to the last two. Sometimes this happens and others it doesn't.
WRT the A and D inventory, there is no D inventory on flights that do not offer business class service. Your seat will be drawn from the A inventory on those flights. Also, there is some business class service on two class flights, primarily (exclusively??) to Canada, Mexico, PR and the Carribean.
