AS# on AA metal has worked in the past

Agreed that AS#, on AS metal should be able to ---> NW.

IIRC, a couple of years ago, I was actually able to credit an AS# flight, code-shared w/ AA, and AA-operated on AA metal (!) to my NWA account. I had booked it through my firm's travel agent and we didn't think it was possible, but by forcing through only my NW acct number on the record, I got credit for the AS flight to my NW account. Of course, I had no elite status on the AA bird, but the miles did credit.
