I was able to match and get aa plat pro. Last time I was able to do this was 2019 right before covid. I got one flight before covid hit from China to US but didn't seem to get an upgrade.

I just matched again for first time since. Sadly I don't have any AA flights in next 3 months. There are almost none out of China. I still think aa elites get out of this far better than Hyatt onses. They should give us a yr match and top status
