Would anyone know if the new Aer Lingus/Emerald Airlines routes starting in March & April are likely to get BA codeshares?

Managed to transfer Avios from BAEC to my Avios.com account and book the couple of EI flights I wanted that way instead. Interestingly (to me at least), these now have 125-....... ticket numbers.

Can any knowledgeable person explain the bizarre Avios pricing for this booking MAN to BHD this Sunday at 20.15 Booking on BA.com with Emerald Airlines on behalf of Aer Lingus. Taxes and charges off the scale for a one way SH. I assume this is due to a lack of RFS on code share? I'm booking for my niece so I cant transfer to my AerClub account to book.

Yes, no RFS there. For a cash fare the taxes/fees/charges are:
United Kingdom Passenger Service Charge Departures (UB) 23.30
United Kingdom Air Passenger Duty APD(GB) 13.00
Carrier-imposed surcharge (YR) 23.00
-----------------------------------------------------------
Total 59.30

The bit I can answer is that there isn't RFS on a codeshare, it has to be BA operated, with the exception of LHR-MAD and some Iberia linked services. This is in essence a 90 to 105 ticket, so the 1275 Avios is nearest the bottom of that range.

For clarity this isnt a codeshare, it will book under the EI prime number and is simply an EI flight booked using avios. It happens to be operated by Emerald but thats by the by. RFS simply isnt available on partner flights (save the exception above).
