AFAICT, the only AS "over water" routes are between Hawaii and mainland U.S. The AA requirement for over water is TATL or TPAC.

I believe that AA dropped that plan when Mr. Raja left the company.

Even if EF is accurate in this regard, why would you want to book this fare with an airline that has basically no experience with the complicated rules that govern the fare?

I believe that it's an unpublished
requirement. Note that AA codeshares on other carriers' metal meet the requirement.
