Its reads as if you are not a BA, QF or EK ffp member and do have a ffp that has BA QF or EK as a partner.
Yes that's correct

AS does collect miles on some low fares where are other do not.

But be careful/check about codeshares

Emirates will/may be a QF partner from 1st April 2013 (subject to regulatory approval). Is not a points earning partner today
I'm slightly wary of the fact that the Qantas and BA alliance has ended, would that mean there's a good chance that if I choose to use Qantas as my main FFP, I may be unable to redeem them at BA later on?
