You'd also get EQD for the AA flights according to the ticket price. Unless it is hidden in the formatting, I don't see any pricing information, so it is not possible to determine EQD for that. Could also be a special fare, but they are getting pretty rare.

Thanks. I originally posted in IB forum because the flight was booked on Iberia.
Does that change the answer? I was calculating the AA segment using 20% of the distance, even though it is operated by AA, but booked via IB.
For the IB segment, I also used 5% of miles.
