Irrelevant. You are a oneworld (AAdvantage) member flying on a oneworld airline in an eligible fare class and that offers double bonus miles as well, so if you add your AAdvantage FFN to the record you earn Base / EQM, class of service and oneworld status bonus RDM.

k at the AA miles earning chart closely...
here.
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.
Travel on Cathay Pacific Airways and affiliate airlines counts toward qualifying for AAdvantage elite status membership.

"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."
and....
"Note – Travel ticketed as an AA marketed flight (booked as an AA flight number) and operated by Cathay Pacific will earn AAdvantage base miles and elite qualifying miles, points and segments according to the AA mileage accrual chart. "
I booked thru CX, not AA ! I am bound to use the company's booking system. No way around it. The same flight marketed as AA was quoted about 5-6K more than the CX flight. Then, am I correct to say - I earn regular miles + appropriate bonus BUT no EQM ?
