CO's much more precise T&C language demonstrates these differences:
From
http://www.Continental.com/web/en-US...ce/virgin.aspx:
"Continental OnePass members can earn miles and redeem rewards on all flights operated by Virgin Atlantic. OnePass miles earned on Continental codeshare flights operated by Virgin Atlantic flights also count toward Elite status."
From
http://www.Continental.com/CMS/en-US...aspx?ItemId=77:
"Earn OnePass miles with standard fares on Virgin Atlantic, with the following general exceptions: all free travel, industry-free or industry-reduced rate tickets, charter flights and promotional certificates.
[..]
Virgin Atlantic-operated flights"
From
http://www.Continental.com/CMS/en-US...spx?ItemId=304:
"Earn OnePass miles with standard fares on Singapore Airlines, with the following general exceptions: all reward travel, industry-free or industry-reduced rate tickets, charter flights and promotional certificates.
[..]
Singapore Airlines (SQ) flight number on ticket for Singapore-operated flights"

True, but a
