Assuming all my milage is correct, that's 12,470 miles. Worst case scenario (50% points) you would receive 6,235 points. I think you are going to be Plat. Congrats.
The Q-point calculation, by the way, is wrong, because it doesn't take into account the 500-point minimum per AA segment. You cannot merely take the total mileage and split it in half if there are segments involved that are under 1000 miles, because those will receive a minimum of 500 Q-points anyway. (The actual Q-point total is going to be closer to 7,500.)
That said, though, it's clear that the OP is going to get the points necessary to make PLT on the challenge at some point upon the way. The question of when, however, is one that cannot be answered without knowing just which fares are which.
