If I add my Flying Blue frequent flyer number to this booking, will I still earn Miles and XP with Flying Blue? Or is this a “mission impossible” ?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
Since SkyTeam programs in general care at least as much about marketing carrier as operating carrier, and FB doesn't partner with QR, neither miles nor XP would be earned in FB.
