Booking internal USA flights on AA with Avios
How do I go about booking internal flights in the USA on AA using Avios from my BAEC account? On their website I get various AA miles but no Avios option. Or do I need to do it with ba.com (in which case I guess I will need to wait a day ot so until the system recovers)?

Ha ha you'll be lucky. AA has shut down award availability for most domestic routes this year - check the AA forum for many expressions of disgust.

Use AA.com to look for availability. You can only book MileSAAver flights through BA.com with Avios. AA.com is better at finding awards with connecting flights but booking these with avios you will be charged for each flight segment as per the BA award rules.
