Today I noticed that there is nothing for either today or tomorrow as AA codeshare even though AS is selling plenty of tix. Maybe I was just lucky earlier or maybe this is collaboration cut. That's why I asked.
Have noticed the same going back to a year ago, at least. Only a sub-set of the flights on SEA-SFO and reverse have AA-codeshare flight #s. Possible this extends to other routes also.

You mean you get AS credit when booking via AS?

Main consideration for me (when AA-codeshare is an option) is LP earning potential.
