That still leaves the question of what happens when AA has issued the ticket and you check in for Qantas flight. Unless that busy fare calc line has suddenly been expanded to include fuel surcharge details - airline/segment/charge - the Qantas agent has no idea whether or not you've paid his airline's surcharge for the segment, and may well demand that you pay the full amount on the spot (as AA is fond of doing when they can't identify that you've paid taxes/fees for a segment, at least at their CA stations). And how do the OW bean counters deal with it? After you fly an AA segment, does AA simply demand their fuel surcharge from the total ticket revenue, whether or not it was ever collected by them or any other airline? It's crazy, I say.
