If anyone can shine better light on what has, or will be going on with these elite multipliers, feel free to share and enlighten me.
As noted, that was disclosed last October 14th when AS announced a unified earning chart for all partners to take effect January 1st. For J, a few carriers earn less EQM, most are the same, and JL saw a 42% increase on J(X) class.

With a weather advisory in January on an AA purchased itinerary, AA reaccommodated me on AS SEA-BOS in J class. As expected, the AA Marketed, AS operated flight (AA flight #) earned the 25% COS. Formerly, it would have earned a 100% COS.
I still received credit towards AS MM status.
