Earn SKYPASS Miles on Etihad Flights?
I have not been able to find this on the KE website. This article says you can:
http://loyaltylobby.com/2013/07/30/e...tion-released/
The chart linked to says you earn (presumably redeemable only) SKYPASS miles at the rate of 50% per mile flown on L and Q economy class flights and 100 to 200% on higher fare classes.
This Korean Air page seems to say that you cannot earn any miles on any flights operated by Etihad (but maybe the English language page hasn't been updated?):

Any knowledge or experiences with this?

There's a confusing footnote though at the bottom of the page:
Partner airlines code share flights mileage accrual
Alaska Airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Hawaiian Airlines:
Korean Air Operated: Mileage Accrual
Non - Korean Air Operated: No Accrual
I don't understand how this lines up with the chart you pointed out. Or is this footnote intended to convey that Etihad-coded flights are only eligible for Skypass mileage accrual if they are Etihad operated flights?

Earn SKYPASS Miles on Etihad Flights?
That is for a code share flight - like if you book a flight with KE and Etihad flies a portion,
but KE operates it, then yes you would not accrue miles. I would give my skypass number to Etihad anyway, just in case they credit the miles

What if it is both Etihad-operated and Etihad coded? That's not a KE codeshare, so it would seem that it would accrue mileage credit. But I'm not entirely sure that's what they meant to say.
