Given AA issued the ticket, and charged me directly, they definitely know the value is this segment.
An earlier BA segment on the same ticket got Spend based TPs

I have seen AA marketed/operated flight credit to AA as distance based in this scenario HND-DFW (JL) connecting to DFW-RNO (AA).

Interesting loophole here, and definitely opens up some more creative routes for TP/Avios optimisation on these tickets. I had only put a single short AA leg in there to trigger booking eligibility on AA.
Based upon the above, would an int'l transit of less than 24 hours cause the AA flight to be distance earning for nTP's?
I'm thinking that a LHR/CDG connection onto an AA flight from QR/AY could work.
And is it a given that AA/BA/IB flights are nTP earning based upon revenue? The prior examples had avios earned based upon spend while TP's were distance based earnings.
