I would double-check this. I think you can still earn AA miles and receive status benefits on QR-operated flights -- regardless of who issues the ticket -- as long as your AAdvantage number is in the reservation record. However, if the flights are booked with JetBlue codeshare flight numbers, rather than with AS or QR codes, then that's a different story.
From aa.com:
"You can earn AAdvantageŽ miles when you fly on Alaska Airlines marketed and operated flights
and Alaska Airlines codeshare flights operated by Horizon Air or other oneworldŽ carriers." (Emphasis added.)
