AA is aggressively undercutting the competition on some private (non-published) transcon business class fares. I don't manage any corporate contracts with AA, but they're offering my agency a 20% discount off base fares that we can offer to anyone. It brings the all-in cost of business class SFO->JFK to as low as $449.40.
I'd be surprised if they weren't being similarly aggressive on corporate contracts.
