I have no other insight than reading the table/webpage at
https://www.fijiairways.com/en-fj/ab...world-connect/
As for OW tier benefit to NAN lounge it says
ie is included on codeshares to my understanding.
While the points column for non-sponsored airlines' tier members travelling on FJ operated flights strictly says zero award and zero tier points with footnote
My reading is that AY marketed FJ operated falls into that zero points category, just as Fuji link flights. But I am happy to be educated on the matter!
In the text is also
Again, indicating that only customers of sponsoring airlines are able to earn points.
And from their FAQ:

(Although eg. in the case of SU to SVO, you'll earn less points because SVO is less than 1000 km. OTOH, LIS on TP will get you a lot more points than the AY standard...)

But will Value fares be available? Hopefully this falls outside the transatlantic cartel even if there is a transatlantic segment?
Also, I guess that the AY codes will only be available on connecting flights, not if making a stop-over in Asia or California

Price not good. And horrible that LATAM flight, done that.
Best Y I could do was Finnair through usa and AA to GRU and then I found a kind chap who swapped me an SWU so I could fly Y all the way but upgraded Finnair segment and also AA segment upgraded. And lots of points for less than 600€. Sadly noT possible anymore I reckon.
