AA uses ID90 as it's non-rev flight listing tool so the information you see there will be more precise than what you see on any other site. In part becasue ID90 pulls data from Sabre (AA's GDS). Also, the formula used on the ID90 site takes into account that the non-revs looking at it are more than likely OAL employees who tend to be farther down on the priority list than AA employees and family, so the odds are lower than if they were AA employees or family. That's reflected in the response you see @ ID90, but not in what you see on FlyZED. FlyZED is a generic formula applicable to all airlines. The availabiltiy you see on FlyZED is pulled from Amadeus.
