You will earn LP's based on the flight distance and booking code, per the tables at aa.com, no different than any other partner carrier.
So for a SMF-SEA booking in C/D/I you would earn:
606 base miles/LP's
303 cabin bonus (606 x 50%)
485 elite status mileage bonus (606 x 80% for PLT Pro)
1,395 LP/RDM total

AA Exec Plat, booking on AA.com with AA codeshare flight on AS metal in economy with 1 companion with no status.
Will we both be able to pick premium cabin after ticketing? And will we both then be on the upgrade list for first?
TIA

Yes and yes. You will have to go to the AS website/app to select your premium seats once you have your AS PNR. Upgrade list for you +1 companion will be automatic, though there is nowhere to see it until the day before departure.

Can't see the position on the list until day before, but I've always at least seen a message when viewing the reservation on AS that I'm waitlisted.

Is there a way to force flights to AS when redeeming AA miles, or do you have to just take whatever the search on aa.com comes up with (which is mostly AA flights)?
Got a ton of miles I need to burn, but have no desire to set foot on an AA plane again. I'll burn some for international travel on partner airlines, but would be nice to book a few flights on AS using my AA miles.

Newly qualified EXP, previously PPro…
I’m on my usual SFO-PDX trip and have been showing up as waitlisted for first class ever since ticketing. Outbound last night we were 1 & 2 on the list but no one cleared. The return for 4 days later was also showing as not cleared and we never received an upgrade notification, but when I went to look at the seats it let me pick FC seats. So might be worth checking seat assignments in the days leading up to an Alaska flight.

But be really careful with that 25K F availability - often when you click on in you get the "mixed cabin" message, F will usually be our flight EUG/SEA, then Y to wherever. No thanks.

I am AA Plat, looking at a trip next year with the first leg on AA and second leg on AS.
I will have two people with me, I can book them as part of my trip if it matters.
I see we get benefits, mainly looking at free checked bags and Y+ seating for free.

Question - does this apply only for me as the Plat member, or would it extend to the others (with no status) on my reservation as well?

AA Platinum = AS MVPG. You are only eligible for Premium Class seating if you have a maximum of 2 pax in the PNR, yourself & 1 companion.

Not trying to upgrade to F (at least beyond myself) - and OK if I get stuck in Y+ with the other 2 - but is this saying that I fall back to nobody status if I have 3 people including myself?
