2 NA Transcons on My AONE5?
FWIW, I'm in the middle of an AONE5 ex-CMB right now. I had to make some changes, and I've already used my CX YVR JFK leg. I'll be on SCL JFK on 2/19 arriving 2/20 and the next QF 108 flight is on 2/22. So they routed me JFK LAX on AA 181 connecting to QF operated AA 7364 to SYD. So that gives me to NA transcons -- don't know whether this violates the rules but it's ticketed now...

You may want to avoid rerouting under any circumstances.

I'm assuming you know that you wouldn't be violating the rule if you booked JFK-SYD on QF 108 as a direct flight, but I'm guessing you don't want a 2-day layover in New York. 
And you also probably know that routing JFK-LAX-SYD eats up an extra segment, not sure if you were pushing the 20 segment limit or 4/6 in N.A.
And lastly, how were you able to get A inventory on JFK-LAX?!?

Yes, it's a pity to lose that segment. On the bright side, I'm taking the LAN flight SYD-AKL-SYD in first on the A340...
