Looking to earn BA points and ticket through AA RTW.
...
Can I get AA desk to convert the IB flight to an AA code share? That would save fees (I think) and I believe it'd still count towards the 4 segments for BAEC. Anyone other tweaks I should consider?
AA marketed IB operated would not count as one of the 4 eligible flights necessary for BA silver or gold status. IB marketed and operated, IB marketed BA operated, and BA marketed IB operated do count.

Also see ba.com:
Eligible flights are defined as those flights marketed or operated by British Airways and those flights marketed and operated by Iberia.
  • 'Marketed' means the flight will have a BA flight number (in your itinerary or on your ticket).
  • 'Operated' means the aircraft that you travel on is a British Airways aircraft (including franchises and BACityflyer).
  • 'Marketed and operated by Iberia' means the flight will have an IB flight number and the aircraft you travel on is an Iberia aircraft (including franchises).
