I was referring to this -
http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/ea...s/american.jsp ... in which A and D buckets on AA metal and codes earn 2 EQM per BIS mile.
Take for example this DONE3 -
NRT-HKG-MLE-HKG-JFK-SJU-DFW-ANC-DFW-BOS-LAX-DOH-MAD-DOH-LHR-SIN-NRT . Using AA's former EQP calculation you'd end up with 82,267 EQP, still more than 17K EQP short of the 100K needed for Executive Platinum.
But using the new metric of 1.5 EQM for non-AA flights and 2.0 EQM for AA metal and codeshares (assuming LAX-DOH carries an AA number) the same route earns over 102,000 EQM, enough for EXP with room to spare.
This is still speculative of course - there may well be some sort of cap or limit that I'm not aware of, but at least on the surface this sounds possible.

Such as that.
