J and F are full-fare codes. And they would price out the same for a BA flight with an AA code; and thus earn the 300% EQMs. Moreover, UA does not count tickets purchased on partner stock to count as part of one's PQD totals. So one could easily accumulate over 100,000 PQMs on partners with no PQDs; and thus no elite status at all.
UA also gives 100% PQMs on economy fares on most partners - AA is down to 50%/25% on all BA economy flights....
But AA allows partner flights to count towards MM status. UA does not.
