That is entirely due to QF refusing to pay for the lounge access; Jet would be happy to collect the money for all the QFF status members using the lounge. Similarly for the luggage allowance, if QF paid then 9W would allow it Similarly EY would be happy to provide lounge access to the QF codeshare, if QF paid EY.

I guess QF knows their market and when to provide more benefits, and when less. This codeshare game, where you never know what you are really getting, is pretty dismal from a pax standpoint.
