I think you misunderstand me. I don't mean I'd choose AA over CX for flights because I get CX miles on more classes.
What I mean is that unlike other OW carriers, it's easy to earn CX miles on AA metal. For example, if I ever have to fly USA-UK, I would always choose AA instead of BA because I can buy a cheap fare on AA and still earn 100% miles whereas cheap fares on BA earn either 50% or no miles at all.
