Selfishly, that maps onto my 'normal' flying much better, so an encouraging datapoint pending further implementation kinks (pilots' union, timing, ability to buy certain nonstop routes as codeshares).
Just did a quick search for a dummy booking, BOS-MSP on a random date in May, and found B6's three daily departures bookable through AA at the Blue fare price (essentially 'Main Cabin'- $35/leg more than B6's Blue Basic fare class). MSP wasn't part of the original announcement, but was part of this "internal document" VFTW reported on, so potentially the codeshare is further along than we'd understood? Also interesting to see AA lists the fare class as "O." Based on how codeshares are treated with other partners (
Alaska,
Hawaiian), this would likely be governed by the American accrual chart,
so full RDM/EQM earning. There does not seem to be an option to book codeshare flights with AA miles (yet).
