PQF is minor, since its only 1 leg, but do I get my PQPs under ORC, especially since I "opted" for the move to AA?
I am 1K on M fare, and its was about 450 PQPs, which is tough to give up...

As explained in the wiki, ORC means you get the same credit as if the irrops did not happen.
Make sure the change was marked INVOL, which it should have been in these circumstances.

ORC is not automatic but best to wait a week or so before requesting.

If you have an AA account, you can double dip and get AA credit, it will not impact the ORC.
