AA 6559 Economy (S)
Method: Distance - data unavailable

Elite Qualifying
EQM: 500
EQS: 1
EQD: 33

Award Miles
Base Miles 162
Bonus Miles: 195
Total: 357

How did I get the EQD: 33 and the base miles: 162? I'm confused how these are calculated since the flight is a code-shared flight.
It doesn't matter that it was BA metal... the AA flight number means you accrue according to AA tables. CDG-LHR is 216 miles one-way according to Great Circle Mapper. S booking code on the "special fare - data unavailable" is 15% EQD (216 x .15 = 32.4 rounded up to 33) and 75% RDM (216 x .75 = 162).
