I guess I won't be able to make use any of the other AA perks (SWU, priority boarding, seat selection) if I chalk my future flights to AS.
If you have AS status matched from AA, priority boarding and seat selection are similar benefits for AS elites on AA as they are for AA elites on AA, so no problem there. SWUs can be applied to any booking, so you can apply an SWU to your booking with an AS Mileage Plan number on it, no problems there–the only downside comes if you have to waitlist, as your AA status won't help if your AAdvantage number isn't on the booking. Presumably you could waitlist with your AAdvantage number in the booking, and once the SWU clears you can then change the FF# to Mileage Plan, though that can't be done online and would need to be done by a human.

Negative, Ghost Rider: EQM and Million Miler miles are different.
