I travel a bit for work and we use a crummy internal system that won't always let me book AS. So if I took a flight through that system, and it has an AA flight#... will I be eligible for miles if it has an AS code share? Or since it's booking "directly" through AA will I not get any miles, even if AS flies it?

I really hope they're able to clearly publish it through qualifying flight #s to simplify things.

You don't have to purchase through AS, but you have to purchase the AS flight number, not the AA flight number. You won't get miles if you buy the flight with an AA flight number just because AS sells tickets on the same flight.
