well may be this is the first step of integration? if i recall, BA is the QR sponsor to join OW right?
There is news that the joining date will be October 2013.
Also make sense after BA/QF "divorce". QF goes with EK and BA goes with QR. Just change the F to R

If oneworld entry is in October, then it is possible that they will hold off until QR actually is in the alliance. And yes, I know it is highly unusual to have a one-sided earning arrangement for the period of even a few weeks.

BA have not yet announced any reciprocal rights.

And Business Traveller now quotes a BA rep asked for comment that BAEC members will be able to earn Avios on QR flights as and from Monday.
No Tier Point earning, of course, until QR joins oneworld.

When QR And AA entered a similar agreement, AA fliers earn tier miles as long as the flight is booked on AA flight numbers. Perhaps this is the case with BA too?

BA and QR do not have any codeshares.
