18,000 Avios is the rate for a First Class redemption on this route. On two-cabin domestic flights, AA sells the front cabin as First Class, not Business Class.

If AA offered Business Class on this route, it would cost considerably less than 18,000 Avios.
Yes I know, my point is for the same seat in the front of the cabin on OP's chosen AA flights on 20 July 2015, he would pay 25,000 AA miles plus USD80.60 or 18,000 BA Avios plus GBP3.
