But yes I agree with orbitmic: if there have been changes (and maybe there have been one or two) it's AA doing it for some internal purpose, not for the benefit of BAEC.
It might get a bit harder in future but I doubt it is a systematic attempt to get rid of the 210 points rule.

Calchas is absolutely right about that, but I think it is a separate (if complementary) issue from the one we are discussing here. Ultimately, BA fare rules impose specific booking buckets for sectors on partner airlines, but the airline alone decides what buckets will be available in principle on a given flight. And as discussed, I have had the "domestic I" experience on some pure AA booking under an AA fare code, hence my suggestion that there is something broader originating from AA themselves.
