BA F vs AA F - which one gets more AS miles?

Hello,

I currently hold no status with AS but looking to book paid rt trip in F operated by BA from IAD to LHR.
I can opt to book it via AA or via BA, both fares are A.

Which option would yield more more AS redemption miles?
Ticket price is 5.7K.

Thanks!

Distance: 3665miles

BA: 3665 + 5498 + 7330 = 16,493
AA: 3665 + 3665 = 7330

I'd say BA is the better option.

BA premium cabins earn insane amounts. A class earns 5.5x RDM as MVPG (and 2.5x eqm). A long haul A class trip can get you MVPG on its own (I'm flying West Coast -> India RT in A)

Given the current BA premium cabin sales, there are some good opportunities to visit a new place and earn lots of miles in the process.
