Interesting - ernest is wrong and guy betsy's right.

I've called up the wonderfully helpful folks at MPO Beijing Mandarin line (trying the MPO Tsuen Wan Canto line gets you dropped into the wonderfully useless voice mail):

Me: If I book AA6143 (http://www.panynj.gov/airports/fligh...pdate=20111012) under N ("en") class from AA, do I get miles?

MPO Beijing: AA6143 is operated by BA. You cannot earn AM on N class on an BA flight.

Me: Does this apply to all OW flights for AM earning? I must refer to the operating airline's eligible classes?

MPO Beijing: Yes.
