N. B. Earning AAdvantage miles flying on EY and other non-oneworld operated flights as a QANTAS codeshare / marketed flight is an exception to oneworld rules that essentially state that to earn miles one must fly a oneworld marketed flight operated by a oneworld airline. See post #4 for more.
Earn elite-qualifying AAdvantage miles when you fly on Qantas marketed and operated flights as well as Qantas Airways codeshare flights. Exception for Jetstar operated flights which are ineligible. Link.
Simply:
To reiterate: one may earn AAdvantage miles flying an Emirates (or Air Fiji, Air Tahiti Nui, etc.) operated flight if it is marketed by QANTAS / a Qantas codeshare.
Exceptions to the exception

Earning AA miles on Emirates
Was there a change this summer that updated the ability to earn AA status points on EK? After all this work finding the perfect flight to BLR on QR, work requires we fly EK (JFK-DXB-BLR) and HYD on the return. Currently marketed EK only though I haven't done an exhaustive search to see if BA or QF apply. Anyone know how to get AA points flying EK in J on any part of that segment?
