Maybe there has been a change? Perhaps around the same time they started showing the ~ for qualifying segments? Not that it really matters...
FWIW reading the t&c's just now, i think QF is very generous handing out 1000 min points for short sectors, compared to AA@500 and BA@250. To compare, for LHR-PRG on BA in business i only got 975. Of course spending those points is another thing altogether...
JK.
AA ( and BA?) does apply status bonus on top of the mimimum rather than apply the minimum after the status bonus, so for a PLT/EXP member, the minimum earning is 1000 to AA, plus also applies the min 500 to most partner credits too whilst QF only offers 1000 on QF.
Compare, say, ORD-MSN on AA in V class; as a QF Platinum member, the earning would be 50% of the 108 miles = 54 .. plus 54 bonus for Platinum so the min earning for an AA flight of 500 would apply whilst to AA a EXP ( or Platinum member ) would earn 500+500 = 1000
