There is of course the projected earning on AA.com prior to purchasing, but it doesn't work if there is any non-AA coded segments.
The trip confirmation screen also doesn't show it per segment... Only the whole trip. Basically AAdvantage customer service told me to call Reservations for an "estimate" of the EQD when I inquired about this. I've taken a sampling of my own trips, even identical ones, to try to reverse-engineer this, but no dice. It may be a pedantic thing, but if the EQD posts per-segment, I want to see the breakdown per-segment in my tracker.
