I'm worried that my CX miles are going to post before my AA miles and this means that my long CX flight will be "wasted" for next year's qualification.
Should I worry about this?
When is your CX MPC year end? If it's April or May then your miles are "wasted" regardless. Your concern only applies when your MPC year end is on or before March 15.
Otherwise I don't really see how your longhaul will be wasted.
