AA EQM earning on JAL?
I can't seem to get a definitive answer on the AA board, so I thought I would ask over here.
I'm trying to figure out how many EQMs I earn for flying JAL flights (non-AA codeshare). I'm looking at V class. The chart on AA.com says 70% mileage accrual percentage and 1 EQP per mile earned. What is the EQM per mile? I would have assumed the EQMs for this class would be 70%, but would like confirmation given AA's EXP desk tells me that all JAL flights, regardless of booking class, earn 100% EQMs and that the chart on aa.com is in regards to RDMs not EQMs.
Can someone please chime in to provide assistance?
Thanks,

Right, I know what the chart on AA.com says (and doesn't say, e.g., EQM), but I just wanted to get confirmation given the EXP desk says something different.
I think I have my answer. I will not receive 100% AA EQMs for a discount economy ticket on JAL.
Thanks,
