Isn't flying base miles anymore? If I fly 2000 miles as en EXP for $400 shouldn't I get 2000 LPs for the 2000 miles + 400*11 points for the ticket price * elite level= 6,400 LPs....
If I used the branded CC I would get an extra 400 for a total of 6,800.

I would have thought that if I paid $300 for the FC ticket I would get 4000 points from the miles.... At least that is what the website declares on what a mile is, is.

Is that not the case? What is a base mile then? a dollar spent on a ticket?
"Miles you earn" means RDM (or what AA calls "award miles"). You do not earn RDM by distance on AA flights. You earn by fare (11 per dollar for EXP).
