Thanks. For me the critical point is that the following were credited by distance:
DFW-JFK (AA code operated by AA)
JFK-LAX (AA code operated by AA)

Can you confirm that you got 50% distance on those?

This would be consistent with my experience, getting 50% of distance flying LCA-LHR on BA on a DONE3 issued by JL. I am now on a CX-issued RTW but so far haven't tested AA or BA segments, and the previous comment made me a bit concerned, since I'm down to the wire in terms of requalifying as BA Gold.
