Or, maybe, book on AA, and then after selecting MCE, switch FF# to another program, maybe Etihad?
2017 I am going to southwest to get CP
AA policy actually forbids using your AA status to gain something on a flight and then switching the earning to a different program. Whether there would be any repercussions in reality is hard to say, but it could happen.
As to the more general question, there's
