Actually to book FF miles or do your own air the first leg hit the airlines today. We are holding upgradable seats with AA - DFW to Paris. We can hold for 14 days just about enough time to get in the final leg without having to book a "fake' date and change it later.

Amadeus does not "come out with air". They do each itinerary individually and book it live so there are no set rates. So if you want their air you have to wait until both the USA - Paris and the Amsterdam to USA flights are in the system and then they can quote. They do get "contract rates" so these have to be in the system with AMA before they can book. So you may be able to get a better deal through them or it may be about the same as booking direct with the airlines. About two to three weeks to buy regular air from AMA.
