Return trip 360 Tier Points

Business AA
MAN to ORD (140)
ORD to SAN (40)
SAN to PHL (140)
PHL to MAN (140)
Return trip 460 Tier Points

Seems like AA will give me a better return on Tier Points or have I got the calculation wrong?

Does anyone know what the business class seats on AA are like on the MAN to ORD and PHL to MAN routes?
Your TP calculation is correct.

MAN-ORD should be the 787 next year, but might be the 767 still. PHL-MAN is on LUS A330.

You can find pictures of the seats in my TR.

Edit: the image hosting site seems to be down at the moment, so I'll insert them here:

AA 767



LUS A330
