Any chance oneworld will ever get "enhanced" enough for RTW tickets to give full mileage credit on all airlines also in coach? Right now it's a joke. For example, there are only 3.5 carriers out of 8 which give full AAdvantage miles for M class: AA, AY, LA, and BA (for some countries of residence, 0 for others). CX 0, EI 0, IB 30%, QF 70%. CX even has a better FF agreement with Qualiflyer than with their oneworld partner AA. Quite amazing.</font>

QF actually gives 100% miles and status credits for M class.

If collecting to AA they are whatever AA allow, which is, iirc, 70%.
You didn't mention accrual into an AA scheme in your post.

Just seems to me that an alliance offering RTW tickets should allow mileage accrual for all flights into one account. It doesn't really help most people that they can get full credit for their RTW flights if they spread the miles over several programmes.

" I believe I said "AAdvantage miles" which implies AA, but I agree it may have been too subtle."
Looking back it does, but not until the second time. I missed the word advantage there. I was going on the 1st sentence which said
"Any chance oneworld will ever get "enhanced" enough for RTW tickets to give full mileage credit on all airlines also in coach? "
"Just seems to me that an alliance offering RTW tickets should allow mileage accrual for all flights into one account. It doesn't really help most people that they can get full credit for their RTW flights if they spread the miles over several programmes."
..but they can get full credit for their flights into one programme if they pick the right programme to accumulate miles into.
