And in what was already a good deal, those SCs doubled when the JV was signed.
I thought they reduced F to J earning at the same time though? So at the pointy end it wasn't doubled.

As in two class domestic F? That earnt as J before and after.
and the heady days of YUPP fares….Sorry, I'm getting my timing wrong. I thought the JV was a while back, but it was only late 2019?
Two-class F used to actually earn as F until early 2017.

The End of Cheap US Status Runs
The United States has traditionally been a popular destination for frequent flyers looking for an inexpensive path to Qantas status. Two classes ofwww.australianfrequentflyer.com.au
Well didn't the ACCC say their JV was invalid. Pretty sure QF and AA are at the basics of their agreement instead of what they wanted.What crack was AJ on when signing the JV? QF gets no MCE and worse seat selection when booking a QF flight number.

Given it's the hopeless corporate one, I don't. But any hints at how I can guide them to this outcome?If you have a good travel agent, you can still get MCE for free as QF gold/plat.
Wow....that's painful. Would the travel agent be able to provide that or only QF?Yes. The AA PNR is different. You need to call up QF for QF codeshares to get the AA record locator.
I seem to recall finding it on 'Find my trip' or whatever it was called ( I'm clearly not match fit) when there was a AA flight booked through Qantas. Maybe the AA app will show???Given it's the hopeless corporate one, I don't. But any hints at how I can guide them to this outcome?

CheckMyTrip but someone else mentioned earlier that BA.com might also show the AA PNR.Find my trip on which site? QF?
CheckMyTrip App will show the AA PNR.
Add trip with reservation no and the AA PNR will show in the trip details.

No need to even pick up the phone! Open the AA mobile app > contact American > chat with us. They were able to give me the AA PNR within 5 minutesIf all the AA flights in your booking are QF codeshare, then you'll need to call AA to get the AA specific PNR.
They are not like QF. You call, they pick up the phone quite quickly usually. No need to be Concierge Key to talk to someone!

Just to close the loop. DM via Twitter got me the AA record locator. Pretty painless. Was able to select seats from the entire Y cabin but not MCE. There was an option to pay for a MCE seat if I wanted to.
I find it bizarre that the seat selection on QF is so poor.
If you had booked the AA flight number (even on a QF ticket) you'd have the full selection.
Codeshares complicate things. Try flying LATAM on a QF codeshare.
I wonder if some of the issues between QF and AA noted above is that they use different booking ‘engines’?AA and QF are the same alliance and have a JV. Seems a little ridiculous to me. Additionally, there shouldn't be a trade off of picking AA for better seat selection of QF for better earn rates.
I'm sure this can be solved on the back-end so it's seamless for customers.
