Exactly. I shall be doing JFK-UVF-JFK on this trip & AA only offers Business class on that route. Further, the AA lounge rules for transcontinental state that you need to be in F or Z inventory (or to be OW Emerald) for access to the Flagship Lounge. (This seems to leave you out if you're Sapphire in First with an A ticket.)
