I guess it has to do nothing with the booking class. The linked thread had a different background (invol rebooking).

Here, the problem is that the flight was OP by OO as UA Express:

Code:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.3.3/Diamond - Operational Info: UA 5424/06 Feb 2014]
                
Planned Flight Info
Segment          Departure  Arrival    Duration
-------          ---------  ---------  --------
SEA-PDX          19:05/Thu  19:53/Thu  00:48

Segment          Flight Note
-------          --------------------------------------
SEA-PDX          AIRCRAFT OWNER SKYWEST AIRLINES
SEA-PDX          OPERATED BY SKYWEST DBA UNITED EXPRESS

As OO is no *A partner, no A3 miles for this flight according *A rules (operating carrier). This is not correct, as this is no codeshare flight, it's a wetlease contract between UA and OO. Flight should be treated the same as UA metal flights...

That's a common problem with UA Express flights. There have been same reports with USDM with collecting or spending miles on this flights...
