If so, how would AC make the calculation? Whilst AQM should be straight forward (i.e. distance flown) what's less clear is how AQD would be calculated since AC wouldn't "know" what the J ticket price is.

If you're on AC metal and you're not on points or a weird consolidator fare, you will earn SQx, always.

AF has to pay AC for that segment, so AC will know what it costs. It will likely be based on the ticket price pro-rated by distance, as with any other ticket. The SQx calculator built by FTers will give you a pretty good idea of how much you'll earn.
