My other question is in regard to the intra-US segments. I need to have as many of them as possible >1500 miles and obviously one trans-con as well. (Although the trans-con will only earn 75 SC from 1st May this year ) I picked the LAX-MIA segment as it has a 3-class service once a day (AA68) so I assumed that I'd get the First SCs. But then I read this in the QFF T&C

"# Effective for travel on or from 11 January 2017, American Airlines will only allow flight bookings in A, F and P classes within the US for flights between New York and San Francisco and between New York and Los Angeles when these routes are operated by a three-cabin aircraft to earn at First Frequent Flyer Earn Category."

First, the change to QF earning on AA flights is due to the US DOT not being happy about the AA/QF joint venture. If the DOT changes its mind I would expect the earn rates to go back to where they are today.
