Thanks again eveyone for your help
I think that it is possible to get AA consolidator fares that do not earn miles...and would be in fare classes that one would otherwise expect to earn EQM. I think that these are reputed to show up in 'O'. I also can't recall reading about people to whom this has actually happened, so it may be all "possible, but not really likely."
Cheers.
