AA earnings are very different to BA, check here http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/ea...britishairways for details. As I read it, WT+ is the sweet spot, you'll earn 1.5x EQPs on that regardless of actual booking class. Note that even in full F you'd still only get 1.5x EQPs(!)

Have you got trips where you can get redemptions with AA miles that you can't with Avios (eg on EY J/F) ?
