Bad idea
 
This is all wrong

Do the 9K flights STT-STX actually earn AAdvantage miles or count toward EXP qualification? The ability to buy them with AAirpass miles does not guarantee that they do.

crazy but cheap idea

maybe I am dense, but you are saying:

1.) Spend $10K on the airpass.
2.) Then fly STT-SJU 100 times
3.) pay $24.44 per segment rather than the published rate of $56
4.) Enjoy EXP status

What happens to the remaining $7500 in airpass money? Does that expires within a year?

With 3 RT per day this would take you 17 days of straight flying.
I wonder how many times they would bump you for oversold situations.

It keeps up for the next year.

Yes, but you have to buy another 10k to not lose the 7500 rolled over.

Or bring a companion and only have to fly 50x. I recall the companion miles credit to the primary pass holder.

I think you'd have to add in at least $5 per segment for the taxes.

That's a great idea

Take along a promising new girl friend and have her dump you and AA after a few flights.... :D
