Friends don't let friends fly JQ. Nothing about that operation appeals to me- not really a baggag interline, pay everything, etc... Guess its ok if you're only doing a short hop with 7kg or less of carry on stuff. Even then I'd be wary.

Qantas - Jetconnect is(was?) the 100% QF owned NZ based subsidiary. With NZ rego aircraft & NZ based crew. All Aust VH rego aircraft now on QF's Au Airline Operating certificate. A post somewhere in the BA forum (which I will find). Understand it may have closed down 31 March 2018 as a customer facing operator:. No reference to "Jetconnect" in timetables now.

“Hi ! It does not look like this segment is eligible for mileage credit since the flight was operated by JetConnect, which is not one of our partner airlines. I apologize for the inconvenience. - Samantha”
Qantas flight 163 SYD - WLG, May 4th
