I tried to clean up the Wiki a bit, and in doing so and reading this thread I raised a few questions:
  1. Do oneworld elites get bag / boarding / any benefits on American B fares?
  2. If you book an AA codeshare operated by BA / IB / AY in Basic Economy, and your booking class on the codeshare is O, will you earn full EQMs / EQSs or do AA's computers know to check for a BE fare?
  3. If you book a BA / IB / AY prime flight, is earning strictly based on the booking class (e.g. O), with no 50% adjustment for Basic Economy?
  4. There have been reports of folks booking a BA / IB / AY codeshare in Basic Economy operated by AA that have been able to select a seat... is this still true?
