Absolutely nothing.
Flying AF (or DL, or AM, or any other WestJet “partner”) when you have status with WestJet nets you zilch. In AF’s eyes, you’ll be a no-status, unknown, infrequent customer.

If you booked anything with a WS flight number, you should credit to WS. At least you’ll get some qualifying credit towards status.
If you have a shot at making status on any other airline (AF or DL), credit to their program.
Otherwise, it doesn’t make much difference. The spend would at least earn you a few WestJet dollars back (if you credit to WestJet) — but they won’t count towards status.
