Thanks, I went back and re-read, must have missed this:
Important caveat for flights involving partners: miles earned always depends on the operating carrier. This is the airline whose aircraft you are sitting on when you fly. Sticking to the YYC-EWR-CHS example from above, you would earn miles according to the AC accumulation chart for YYC-EWR, and according to the UA chart for EWR-CHS, regardless of which airline sold the ticket and whether the flight is a codeshare.
Strange AC would offer flights by non- *A members on its website, don't ya think?
Anyway, thanks again!
