Brussels Airlines is in *A, so I am not sure if your example is correct.

I mentioned the flight number because it is A3 prime and A3 chooses to operate these with an Animawings a/c. Same for example, for A3 flights to e.g. JTR that some of these are operated by OA ATR. I am pretty sure that these give miles to *A (if fare allows). We have had this discussion many times before... There is a difference between a) i use my "prime" flight number and operate the flight with another airline's a/c - which to me is what is happening with A3/A2 and b) i put my codeshare on another airline's flight - which is what is happening with LH and EW or LX and WK for example.
