BAEC text is now confirming that after the forthcoming changes, TP and Avios for flights marketed as "domestic first" on two class aircrafts (ie everything except transcontinental flagship on all JFK-LAX vv, all JFK-SFO vv, and the MIA-LAX flights operated by a 77W) will accrue on a business class basis, ie 40TPs or 140TPs on flights over 2000mi and corresponding avios.
Seems it has been confirmed! Details in this post #254

Bad news for TP runs using AA [domestic F sells as J. Reduced TPs - confirmed]

I've just checked our AA PHL-PHX in March, which was booked through BA on 125- stock in August.
BA.com "MMB" and "Earning Avios" shows us booked in Domestic First (A) and earning 210 TPs each.
Whether that changes subsequently is, of course, the question.

Mac/Safari ... left-clicky not worky. Right-clicky and "New Tab" gives same result as windowontheAside

Assuming that is HNL still holds the same attraction in future

Anyway, we've done HNL [twice] and now looking for OGG next Summer. Everything is around £2k, so I'm having to be patient!

Thanks for the info JonNYC - way ahead of the official announcement as usual!
Luckily for me...I'm flying MIA-JFK in F on the 11th January!
I can live with 40TPs opposed to 60TPs, but it will be interesting to see whether the BA website is updated for the change.
I'll wait until AA send out their 'Changes' email, and will then call up to see if they can do anything for me - unlikely, and I'm not sure what I'd be expecting, but they do tend to be quite amenable on the times I've called up.

One way or another, BA will have to do something: at a minimum, either add "or domestic first class" under "business class" in the class descriptors of the partners table, or add "or F, P, A on two class domestic routes" in the bucket column as doing nothing would simply create a mismatch between the two.
My sense is that for technical reasons, it is extremely unlikely that J, C, I, R "domestic first" will continue earning at first class levels. Frankly, BA's IT systems are so poor that it is unlikely that they will differentiate between a LAX-MIA 2-class J or 3-class J. For the same reason, I'd personally expect that it is unlikely that redemptions will remain untouched though. In both cases, however, I am merely guessing.
