AA closed the challenge offer some months ago. A few weeks ago AA had a large devaluation, with status much harder to get from now on. AA ffp will be a revenue based ffp (as are most other USA based ffp’s).
With AA (and BA, QF, CX and others) you need to fly 4 own airline segments/(flight numbers) to qualify for status
Flying a few low cost economy short haul flights getting status with any ffp will be hard to impossible: such is the way forward with ffp's.
