Example on my next RTW itinerary I have:

HND-JFK (JL)
JFK-GRU (AA metal JL Code)
GRU-DFW (AA metal JL Code)
DFW-STL (AA code)
STL-SEA-DOH (AS, QR codes)

That would never in a million years be allowed by AA RTW desk. And would be detrimental to an AAdvantage member if it wasn't JL, AS, and QR coded.
Is the above code share strategy to enhance credit to an AA FFP? Credit would be by miles flown instead of proportional cost/total distance flown on RTW?
If not AA FFP, which FFP?
TIA.
