The OneWorld web site is still using the old definition.

"American offers three classes of service on its longhaul International Flagship Service flights operated with 777 aircraft, including flat beds in First Class."

My source for the AFS definition is slightly less authoritative, but see
http://www.aviationexplorer.com/american_airlines.htm
which says
"767-200 flights between JFK, SFO, and LAX offer three-class "American Flagship Service""
