Also, for the record, there has been zero discussion as to whether S fares earn on AA, as these have no restrictions that would cause them not to earn in certain situations (as there are with certain O and Q fares on AA).

In other words, as Gardyloo correctly points out, S fares earn 100 percent Q-miles and 50 percent Q-points on AA. (Remember that Q-miles and Q-points on AA are not the same thing, but both can be used for status qualification.) If you still choose to credit these miles to AS, they will earn 100 percent elite qualifying miles on AS.
