You get F on the 2-class AA metal if your ticket is booked in C, provided there is availability.
BA site is known for glitch for showing all the partner flights available, especially involved connections.
Try to do a simple One-Way search between the city pair of SEA-DFW on both BA and AA to see what may come up.
I am afraid for those who have to use connection flights on AA, booking via phone may be your only option to get what you want after you find there are availability on AA but not showing on BA.
Edit: not sure how BA treats partner award that involves segments that are served by 2-class plane.
headinclouds has made a good point on this. You would need to call BA to find out the exact rules.
