I have booked more than one. Best AS J award on all AA metal was LIR-MIA-LAX(77W)/8 days/LAX-JFK(A321T) for 27.5K AS miles. The LIR-MIA was in Main on an A319 with 8 First Class seats. I was in MCE but didn't really care since it was such a short flight; equivalent to SEA-PHX.
AS & AA were supposed to be offering reciprocal dynamically priced awards. I saw a few instances of AA awards on AS metal late last year but nothing since. Perhaps that is still in the works as AA moves to 100% dynamically priced awards on their own metal.
