That, to me, is one of the bigger benefits of AS joining oneworld; no more operating in a grey area (having to email in boarding passes and only earning miles because AS usually waived their rules when asked in this situation) to earn miles on flights marketed by one AS partner and operated by another (among oneworld partners).

EQMs range from 25% in deepest discount coach on most (JL bottoms out at 30%) oneworld partners to 300% for BA F. However, outside of BA, it looks like the most generous EQM earning in J/F is 200% on most airlines and as low as 125% (IB).
Except CX and oneworld connect FJ. Both earn on Marketed & Operated flights only, no codeshares.

Earnings will be based on the Marketing Carrier, not the Operating Carrier. If AA is marketing a good J fare on BA metal, you will earn 150% EQM as per the AA charts (flight number starts with AAxxxx) not 150% EQM + 100% Bonus RDM as per the BA charts. (flight number does not start with BAxxxx)

When AS allowed credit upon a manual request when both the Marketing Carrier & the Operating Carrier were AS partners, credit was based on the Operating Carrier.
