Well, the AA relationship is going to include at least earning and possible earn/burn. Plus, in response to a query about it on Twitter there was this response:
The person posting that, Dave Canty, is the Director of Loyalty for JetBlue so I'm pretty sure he know's what he's talking about.
@WanderngAramean we will have earning relationships with OA's in 2011

Emirates has also been surveying its top flyers as to which partneships would be most valuable. I for one asked for jetBlue. A FF partnership of some kind can not be completely ruled out.
