THe results I get are all operated by JL. However, the two outbound segments have AA flight numbers, whereas the inbound segments have JL flight numbers.
In order to accrue Alaska miles, I need the flights to be marketed and operated by JL. GF shows that if I purchase from Expedia, all flights have JL numbers but the fare jumps to $3600.
How do I get around this problem?

No expiry. You can book it until fare is pulled by AA and/or JL.

Keep in mind that JL I fares only accrue 70% of miles flown as EQM with no class of service bonus. An additional bonus of 100% of base miles will accrue as RDM only.

This is what I'm seeing on ITA.
TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON/BEFORE 27FEB 19.
Although I suppose they could pull it before then, or re-file it afterwards.

Original fare disappeared on schedule after Feb 27. Same trips can now be had for about $400 more, which matches the increase in the AA Vacations price. Not sure if the higher price still qualifies as a "deal".

Here is the reply I got about JL credit on AS
"With Japan Airlines, "I" class of service, you would earn 170% of the miles toward your available miles. Only 70% of that would count toward your Elite Qualifying Miles. "
So, hopefully this is the definitive answer as far as redeemable miles
