I think the point is that partner carriers are not required to collect the operating carrier's surcharges on partner-issued award tickets. AA does not do so on award flights operated by JL or any AA partner, except BA and IB. So if BA is not required to collect the JL carrier surcharges on award flights operated by JL, why does BA do so? And in whose pocket do you suppose those carrier surcharges end up?
