It is an AA flight, thus why the plane is made to look like an AA plane and why they cant also allow UA/DL/etc to also sell seats on the plane using the UA/DL/etc code. This is same with AS and Horizon. Horizon doesn't operate any of their own flights. They operate flights on behalf of AS.
I believe all Nora flights are operated on behalf of Finnair and thus should get credit. The problem is getting an agent to understand this difference. Hopefully explaining AS/Horizon situation will help.
That's actually not what matters. What matters is that the AY flight number is between AY1 and AY2000. That's direct from the Mileage Plan page for Finnair. Some flights operated by Nordic Regional are in the valid flight number range, others are not. This would explain why some flights posted automatically, but these didn't.
