Velocity/ Air Berlin question

Can anyone tell me if I will get points/status flying airberlin to reykjavik from london, or just points, or nothing at all. Flight has an AB number but no VA number (obviously).

Sorry - nothing at all to Velocity. If you have a Qantas account you may earn a small amount as Air Berlin is a One World airline.

So AB-coded and operated flights earn miles, but not status credits? But, VA-coded flights operated by AB earn both miles and status credits?
