Per the rules, you can earn miles flying on a QF-coded, QF-operated flight on EK ticket stock, but not an EK-coded, EK-operated flight on QF ticket stock.

In the last posts of the thread linked below, Guy Betsy is looking an EK operated flight followed by a QF operated flight. KUL-BNE-MEL
Depending on how its purchased could be
EK/EK then EK/QF marketed/operated
QF/EK then QF/QF marketed/operated
Link--->PER transfer & lounge
[Marketed = flight number]
I thought the AS rules were "marked & operated by the same airline". Which they do not follow if both are AS partners and will (manually) credit based on operating carrier. [Oneworld credits based on marketing carrier if OW operated. But an exemption for some OW ffps' for QF marketed EK operated],

AS has special rule for EK. its the only partner that has reference to ticket stock. Whether that are now enforcing it or not, i'm not sure:
EK page:
QF page:
EK page:
Flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below, and your flight must be marketed and operated by Emirates. Ticket has to be on Emirates ticket stock to qualify.
Flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below, and your flight must be marketed and operated by Qantas.

This is opposite to EK tickets operated by QF which is in question. I don't recall a DP on that. I believe status has a big role in leniency with respect to written policy.

They were credited as QF flights (EK-operated). I did Q, O, N, S between MEL-KUL/SIN when they were between $300-600, earning 100% AS. I don't think status had a role in my earnings. Things may have changed. One caveat when crediting EK/QF to AS is that you'd have to manually submit a retroactive mileage claim for each e-ticket.

When something is done manually, there is more room for human error; in this case in your favour.

Very kind interpretations.
My experience has been that Alaska Airlines are very kind in awarding credit for flights marketed but not operated by the same airline. I am not sure if there are any rules that are hard and fast but generally if both airlines are Alaska members, then they do their best to award the miles based on the operating carrier fare basis.
Recently I was granted credit for Qantas marketed Finnair flights and on a Qantas marketed Alaska Airlines flight (which was also out of the QF/AS codeshare flight range).
In all cases, manual processing is needed.
I for one appreciate this flexibility as sometmes I get confused on what metal I am actually hopping on.
