Start a thread in the AA subforum, if you want to talk AA itineraries outside the scope of TP runs.
Absolute nonsense. There are all sorts of variables people take into account for a TP run. To say that people can’t post an interesting fare that they think might benefit others earn a whole bunch of TPs easily is outrageous. 920 TPs is not to be sniffed at and not usually earned easily.
For me, this fare has a relatively small premium over an average ex-EU which allows you to travel in F, access FFD in JFK and book on almost any flight through the use of the F bucket rather than A. That could make a huge difference for someone who (a) wants to pay for a little more comfort/experience than J and (b) might not have the flexibility to fly a totally crazy routing at unsociable times but still needs the TPs.
I don’t think a TP run should be defined by how awful the routing is or that there should be some absolute minimum $ per TP limit to avoid castigation by other forum members.
Thank you to the OP for highlighting this fare.
