Aeroplan website:
"Earn 50% bonus miles for flying in First or Business Class (Excluding Booking Class P)"

You are right that P does not give one COS. Only basic mileage credits. Z gives one 50% COS on Aeroplan. Thanks for the warning which I am totally surprised at. LH Buz class sucks anyway. Swiss is much better.
