In that case you would earn miles as though it was an American flight.
If it was sold as a CrazyAir flight number then you would not.
This is how it works with AA anyways. I looked but I couldn't find details on how this applies with BA. I know it doesn't work for IB. Anyone know the BA rules?
As I stated earlier you earn AA miles in the AAdvantage program whenever flying on an AA flight number, regardless of the carrier. You do not generally earn AA miles if you fly on a codeshare marketed by a oneworld airline but operated by a nononeworld airline. For example see:

[QUOTE]Earn miles when flying on British Airways marketed and operated flights for travel on an eligible published fare ticket.
Miles are also earned on British Airways codeshare flights operated by oneworld carriers and oneworld affiliates.[/QUOTE]
Earn miles when flying on Cathay Pacific marketed and operated flights for travel on an eligible published fare ticket. Miles are also earned on Cathay Pacific codeshare flights operated by oneworld carriers and oneworld affiliates.
With BA it works the same.
From ba.com:
Codeshare flights booked under the code of a British Airways partner airline but operated by an airline who is not a British Airways partner are not eligible for Avios or Tier Points. Flights booked under the Qantas QF code operated by a non-oneworld airline will accrue Avios but not Tier Points.
