QF/AA Status credit clarification

This may have been asked before, however, I cannot find it.

I'm planning a status run while in the US in September.
LAX-SEA on AA in (sold as) First on a 2-class flight.
Booked through AA site. No codeshare.

As a QFF, will I get First SC (90) or Biz SC (60)

Thanks.

Business. AA reclassified the fare codes last year.

You will earn as per the booking class

For 2 class services in the USA, the front cabin is marketed as 1st class, however the underlying booking classes are that of business class

It is only on 3 class services ( such as LAX-JFK ) where the 1st class cabin is booked using 1st class booking codes

On a 2 class service , such as LAX-SEA , the earning will be business class

Thanks.

I guess still not bad value at $5.40 per SC.

Being 954 miles, earn will be as for 751-1500 miles in Business (booking classes D, I, J & R).

i.e. 60 Status Credits.
