a few years ago i had an intra-europe alitalia flight cancelled and i was rebooked on a later AZ codeshare operated by fly niki
initially it posted as no credit (since it wasn't skyteam-operated) but i managed to get ORC after just writing in on dl.com and explaining what happened
i don't know about MQDs specifically because i am outside the US, but i did get the MQMs credited -- the ticket was booked through alitalia
