UA: LAX-BOM, $840, ~4 cpm
 
Depart on either Friday and Saturday, 2-day trip, there is a 100 min turnaround at BOM. $840, ~20,700 miles, or 4.05 cpm. All UA fight numbers (codeshare for ZRH-BOM). There is a lot of availability in January and February 2015, too.

UA Flight numbers mean nothing. If that's a LH or LX flight in K (and they are, according to UA), you earn 0 miles.

Do not agree. You will get PQM and PQS and elite bonus, you may have to fight for PQD if it is posted as "Ineligible" after completing flights.

My understanding is that the blue dot on the page you posted is contingent on you buying a ticket with an eligible fare class. K is not eligible according to this page. Not sure about PQD, seems like you should get it on an 016 ticket but I don't know.

The important line on that page: The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.

You're unfortunately incorrect. You will get PDQ (if on UA ticket stock with 016 number) but won't get PQM or PQS if it is in K fare class regardless of flight number. It's dependent on whose metal it is.
Just went through this with LH and there is a thread on this too

Look, I am sorry, but agree or disagree all you want. :)

The fact remains that under United's program, you will NOT get PQM or PQS on any LX or LH operated flight if you've booked a K class ticket. Period.

I think we both agree we'd really hate to see someone who needed 20k to get 1k status end up 10k short because they assumed incorrectly.

No PQD credit if the flight is not eligible for PQM or PQS.
