*ONE* Fuel Surcharges

Under the new rules, it seems that at least AA is now adding per segment fuel charges to *ONE* tickets. I would appreciate any help with the following questions:

1 - Are other airlines doing the same? Do the amounts vary? Can you get ahead by using one carrier instead of another (e.g. AA vs BA transatlantic, etc)?

2 - Does the ticketing carrier matter? It seems that the AA fuel surcharges are listed in the starfile but not in the CX rules. I am going ex-London - should I get BA to ticket instead of AA so I can save on surcharges? It seems that everyone likes to complain about BAs RTW staff - is AA UK any better? Or should I book with AA US RTW desk and get ticketed here?

Thanks much!
