Ther topic is a luggage allowance for JQ domestic flight followed by a QFi flight (then to AA?)
Indeed... But I did think it made a good example on how the DOT rules are more fair than the standard IATA 302 in that the luggage allowance on that trip plus the excess bag fees can be greatly different for each check in of the journey in the 1PC/GBP65 excess outbound vs 30Kg/$30 per Kg excess inbound

What I am trying to say is that yours is an example where the ticketed allowance can change from check in to check in
1PC/30Kg/1PC would be quite possible and that excess fees can be very different ; the DOT regulation was put in place specifically to avoid that situation
Yours is a different situation since you are concerned (as far as I remember) with the extra piece allowed by BA for travel on BA as a BA silver member
