Let me ask it another way , if I buy a ticket on AA and fly on JetBlue or Piedmont does that number go towards what AA is flying ?
JetBlue? They aren’t even in a codeshare right now. If and when one is approved and started, no, buying a ticket on JetBlue via AA.com would count in JetBlue’s numbers, not AA’s. It is JetBlue’s capacity/seats if it is JetBlue metal, not AA’s. Subsidiaries (or CPAs) flying an AA flight like your Piedmont example - yes that counts towards AA numbers as those seats are controlled by AA. But a codeshare wouldn’t count toward it. That’s how I understand it. AA (or AA controlled) metal = AA capacity. AA selling a ticket on JB metal: JB capacity.
