Everything on AA is calculated on Base Miles (also referred to as "Butt in seat Miles
.
EQM is 100% of Base on AA operated flights and AA marketed (codeshares) flights.
Class of service, status and other bonus flight miles are calculated on Base Miles. In this instance AA F:
LHR-LAX = Base Miles = Elite-Qualfying Miles
Class of service bonus miles = BM x 50% (redeemable, not EQM)
Stats bonus miles (EXP or Plat) = BM x 100% (redeemable, not EQM)
EQ Points = BM x 150% (not redeemable, only quantifiable for stats award)
(I am not going to do the math - you didn't provide the Base Miles figure.
