As far as changing to another OW FF, AS has explicitly stated that if you book AS ticket with your AS account, you can’t change FF to benefit from other status. This seems highly customer unfriendly and I’ve never tried to do it myself as I’m still MVP on AS but YMMV.
No its the other way around. I want a direct DEN-SEA which is only operated by AS (or DL), but I only have AA or BA miles available and can't find availability for the AS direct flights on those sites.

So if I'm forced to book AS operated flight on AS.com with USD, then what FF # should I use at booking and what upgrades benefit would that get me etc?
