I also like to thank the "volunteer Ambassadors" in advance.

I am not exactly a newbie to FT, but my questions prove that I still am

Here are 2 questions:
1. I want to get AA credits for flying on CX, JL, BA, AY & RJ metal. Can someone spell out the fare codes that qualify for such. I am AA plat, and want to travel economy. Am aware AA codeshare flights are sure bets. {note: I have read a chart posted by Gardyloo sometime ago, and individual airlines web sites & still unsure}
You can find the eligible fare classes for earning AA miles for each AA partner by looking here:

Specifically for CX here:

JL:

BA:

AY:

RJ:

2. Am I allowed to book an (one) AA codeshare flight that is NOT a trans-ocean flight, and NOT connecting to any AA flight?
Although the AA/BA/IB joint venture might affect this normally you could not book an AA codeshare without a long segment on AA. For example, to book the AA codeshare LHR-NCE you need to be connecting from an AA flight into LHR, so something like JFK-LHR-NCE. Also see the discussion in these threads:
