Ugh, sleep deprivation. I missed the part about "AA operated." 
The answer is the same, though, for the reason you mentioned.
That said, you might be able to get around it with the old "email AS the AA BP" trick, but since they also ask for the ticket receipt, that probably won't work, either.

Also note if one has TT# is to call american and have them update secure flight data. I had put First Middle Last in three different fields but it transferred to AA with First Middle in the first name field. Middle name field was blank.
Now its always possible that the miles will post BUT to this day i don't believe any one has reported back a yes or no were just going based on the usual AS mileage earning guidelines.

With AA starting SEA-PHX in June, I'm hoping to see US flights earn AS miles within the next couple of months.

There will be a fair amount of cross-fleeting between AA and US, effective July 2 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...ed-routes.html

AA&US have bigger things to worry about. US wil be obsolete by early next year so to me it would be a waste of time and energy to implement

You'd think that an AA codeshare operated by US should be easy to implement for credit. AS would just need to allow those flight numbers in its list.
I know this thread's about the opposite, but has anyone booked an AA flight operated by US recently, on the AA website with AS FF info, and tried to credit it to AS? I might have a short flight coming up and am inclined to give it a try if no one else has recently.

(3rd time in this thread this link has been brought up, BTW)
To qualify for mileage accrual, please note that your flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below and your flight must be marketed and operated by American Airlines.
It also seems to me that a small pile of Avios that you accrue US flights to (if you don't want to be in the US program) is not the worst thing in the world (4500 Avios gets you one segment <651 miles on AS, even less + cash gets you a US or AA flight).

It is my experience that AS wants operating carrier = marketing carrier, unless it's on it's own metal. Cases where it doesn't match risk not accruing miles on the ticket.

I dont think its as easy as just adding some flight numbers to the AS site. Since US and AA are still 2 separate companies it would most likely require US and AS to enter a partnership agreement. Seems like a lot of pain for short term gain.
