Gulf Air / AA Codeshare Agreement???

[GAGing in Bahrain]

What happened to the Codehsare agreement between Gulf Air and AA?? I tried to book my usual BAH-LHR-ORD flight and AA would only route me via BA. Checked their website and they say "Due to a regulatory change by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, American Airlines has suspended its codeshare on flights operated by Gulf Air until further notice."

Anybody with some information out there??:confused:

Not heard anything concrete about the cancellation of the AA codeshare agreement although Etihad now have a similar agreement with AA and launched their ORD flights yesterday so maybe via AUH is your best bet.
