Somewhat disagree here. While the EQM may be better, it is quite possible that the EQD will be worse (although the AA chart is not yet out). Currently, AS I earns 30% EQD on AA.
If, and this is still an "if" they do something closer to AA's special fare chart on the mapping, I would go to 20%. As I have a number of AS I bookings to credit to AA, I do care about this.
In the past, when fare class earnings change after-purchase I've been successful in getting things fixed manually, but it can be a pain.
Cheers.
