Those AAdvantage members who aren't too happy about the earning on QR should have a look at how QF has thumbed its nose at its frequent flyers.

The most you'll ever earn is 100% of miles flown and that's for flying in First! In Economy, the most you'll earn is 25% and that's only in select buckets. Very, very disappointing.

Probably quite a bit. But that in itself is a problem. Qantas's priority should be oneworld, not EK. When MH joined QF announced poor points earning on select routes operated by MH - ironically, those routes MH operates that EK also operates. But it seems with QR they've gone with a blanket abysmal earning.

If I read the fine print it seems that ONLY AA code shares count towards AAdvantage elite qualifications. If that's the case then what code shares are valid?
This is pretty lame if the case. Basically neutered their newest member right off the bat.

You read it wrong. AA codeshares earn at AA rates.

The fine print you mentioned is
Note - Travel ticketed as an American Airlines marketed flight (booked as an AA codeshare flight number) and operated by Qatar Airways will earn AAdvantage base miles and elite qualifying miles, points and segments according to the AA mileage accrual chart.

Absolutely unbelievable! My flights with Qatar were confirmed when I last checked it 5 hours before departure. When I went to check in they told me they could not check me in on the Qatar flights because they do not see them saying I should fly my first segment and then go to the transit desk. I checked my flights online to see that my Qatar segments were deleted. I rushed to call AA to get it fixed and they were not sure why Qatar had cancelled them. Thankfully AA got the ticket fixed but instead of being in the lounge I was stuck on the phone at the check in counter. Just unbelievable. Had I not check online I could have been stuck at my first segment. I will be flying into Doha in first class and I hope they have someone I can seriously complain to. I lost all my seat/special meal requests almost got my self into a massive headache.
They can't repeat #*&% like this again.
There was another passenger a few pages ago who had his flights cancelled but his wasn't done just before check in.

The fine print doesn't mean ONLY AA codeshares count for status. Earlier on the page is stated:

[URL pointing to qatar earning page on AA.com]
...
The fine print you mentioned is and that's the normal situation - earning is based on the marketing carrier, not the operating carrier

In any case all the references I have seen, have no reference to the EQP earning. Anyone have a URL (that works)
Happy wandering

When I had flight cancellations on paid C ticket QR did not even bothered to inform me, and would I've not checked it myself online I would have found at check-in only.
QR also refused to interline me to another carrier after their flight cancellation and I even had to fight in order to get a different flight on QR - they originally wanted to make me fly 2 days later and make me overnight in DOH. Agents are not empowered to do anything and need to ask DOH for even slightest changes.
Onboard it is also quite sad - C seats are angle-flat, ranging from almost OK on 777 to terrible on anything else. F did not tried yet, trough have booking in December.
Food is mediocre, champagne is good. Service is by very young crews having fun and joking with passengers - no class service here. Transit in DOH bad, since you need to get a bus to and from Premium terminal. Usually you will sit in the bus for ages with the engine running and the doors open, enjoying the toxic fumes produced by your bus and others around. Once at the plane you will have to climb the stairs to a 777 with your hand luggage. Very 5*
