When booked as a BA codeshare the flight will book in to a business fare class and earn business TP's, although in a 2-class AA domestic plane you will travel in first class (as there is no business).

However if booked under the AA code on a 2-class aircraft, you will be booked in to a first fare class and earn first TP's.

For 3-class AA aircraft, you will be booked in business whether under the BA or AA code.

As per above, the flights in question booked under a BA code will earn 40+40 TP's. Booked under the AA code earn 60+60 TP's.
