This is what an AS receipt looks like for a codeshare:

American
Flight 2834 (Alaska 4118)
Boeing 737-800

These receipts for the EI flights only show the EI flight numbers, which suggest they're NOT codeshares:

Aer Lingus
Flight 69
Airbus A330-300

Similarly, when you book online for something that's a codeshare, they display the operationg flight number, but the Details tell you whether a codeshare:


British Airways 284 (Alaska 5278)
Operated by British Airways

But these EI flights have no codeshare designation under Details:

Aer Lingus 60

So as long as AA doesn't care whose stock this is on, this is a regular revenue EI ticket sold on 027 stock. Question is if how they'll calculate the LP's.
Selling vs Marketing is a morass.

AA LP’s on EI are calculated like on AA, based upon base fare. AA LP’s on AS are calculated based upon miles. I guess we need someone who has flown the legs to report.
