Not so sure about AA, given the mix of carriers already identified for this particular trip.

And if the OP wants to attain OWE status
solely from this RTW trip, I do not see how he could do so by crediting to AS.
If we had a better idea of the specific RTW itinerary (including carriers for each segment), I think that we could give better advice.
