By that logic I guess middle east and africa are also typos?

Agreed. I think they are supposed to be consistent and that some of these charts are in error. I have no idea which is right, but my guess is that the AA-metal and partner charts are supposed to be consistent as well.

I buy that, updated the post and chart to reflect that.

Added:

Oddly enough (according to AAs chart at least) Europe will cost 55K in business class even if you fly from LAX-JFK in business on a 3 class plane as long as you fly on AA from JFK-Europe. Fly on a partner to Europe and you're hit with the 7.5K penalty for connecting from LAX-JFK in business on a 3 class plane.

Think it's a typo on AAs part?

Don't know if the numbers are a typo, but the bolded definitely is ;).

They're very close. Most of the differences are that the Y decreases only are applied to AA metal. I'd remove the extra column and separate the different rates w/ a "/". And I'd use an asterisk for the 7,500 3-class business lines.
Asia2, Central America, Mexico all have more differences.
I think I need the extra column.

Anyone notice any other corrections before I go live?

Wait. Is Puerto Rico really not on this chart? People have to pay real $ for flights to and from Puerto Rico?

If you’ve got awards to book through the beginning of February 2017, and they’re awards that will get more expensive under the new chart, you’re going to want to do it before March 22 to lock in current pricing.

My guess is that no.
It only really worked with United when done online, which can't be done with AA.

But I'd love to be wrong.

How about date changes after 3/22?

I'd assume that's fine on the same route at least.

Oh, wait. Now that you mention it, any word if date changes will remain free if O/D are the same? I was sure that was going to change with the deval.

I think so. A lot of people here fly EX TLV often.
