So far I've got British Airways, American Airlines and Qantas.
There is no such thing a Oneworld ff points (or Star alliance ff points)
With alliance's & ff partners if say you are a member of the BA avios ffp you can also earn BA avios on QF & AA flights.
Earnings can vary. www.wheretocredit.com
Airlines have alliance & non alliance ff partners For example EY Etihad is an AA ff partner. VA is a partner with SQ Singapore & EY Etihad.
It is not a good idea to be a member of many ffps'. You never get enough miles/points/avios to be useful. They can expire.
FF miles/points are not equal between ffp's . For example QF is poor compared to AA (earn/burn).
