Do you think that could be the issue? I had no Qantas flights on my route.
Possibly, I don't have a strong feel for this. Does the ticketing airline get a slice of the action just for ticketing, I wonder? If so, then QF might be willing to ticket.
(As an example: I bought my ex-KRT DONE4 from AA; it had just one AA segment, its codeshare on RJ's AMM-JFK flight. After a couple of months, there was a schedule change, and I noticed that AA had moved me onto the RJ flight number. So I had an AA-issued ticket with no AA flights on it. I expect AA had realised how little they were going to make on that flight, decided they could do better selling that seat to someone else and so moved me to RJ.)
