Well AA earning from the lower CX economy fares along with some of the CX Silver benefits is why I now have status with CX after reaching AA 1mm Gold.

However, while Y and B CX fares earn 100% EQM (and 150% EQP) of base flight miles when credited to AA, H class fares do earn 100% EQM and EQP. Cathay Pacific fare class earning with AA

I have no doubts that there will be changes in the not too distant future in both the AA and CX programs. With luck that will happen after I have given up on earning serious status with any airline.

Happy wandering
