Very few people want AA codes anyway. It's been a while since I've ran numbers but I think it's only advantageous for people crediting to QR and AY. Everyone else, including AAdvantage earners should be trying to code elsewhere where possible. It's quite easy on international and even domestic connecting to or from international. QR, AY, and / or JL codes are readily available now within the US, to parts of the Caribbean, and JL codes to Brazil.

What does QR plating have to do with anything at all? You're using a travel agent anyway. QR is one of the lowest YR/YQ platers available. I'm certainly not avoiding DOH or any other middle eastern airport now, but you don't even need a QR flight to plate on QR stock.
