No, it is what they call the "first overwater carrier," meaning the carrier with the most substantial travel.
I am flying in April, WestJet to YEG and then KLM to AMS.
WestJet would not be charging me bags, even if they are they are the first carrier I fly. They can try, but they won't do it, and people should know that that's not how it works.

The terms&conditions say that it depends on the marketing carrier, not the operating carrier. But that is contrary to my experience in *A. Hence my question. :-)
*A is the exception, not the rule. Every other airline in the world usually goes by marketing carrier to determine benefits and accrual.
