Discount economy SC's - only Y class on AA earns Full Economy SC's.FWIW, by the earnings table it's one QFF point per Mile.

Oft asked here!Doesn't that same table also say that B, H, K and Y are classed as the economy cabin class (as opposed to G, L, M, N, S and V, which are explicitly stated to be the discount economy cabin class), meaning that H should earn (full) economy status credits?
For international flights, Qantas Economy is class Y. For travel on oneworld Alliance airlines or Air Pacific, Economy is class Y.

That table is irrelevant as far as SC earn other than indicating whether SC's are earned or not.
This page has the good oil:
Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Status Credits
Where airlines are eligible to earn Status Credits, refer to the Status Credit earn table. It is the responsibility of the Member to check whether a proposed booking is eligible to earn Status Credits and if so how many Status Credits will be earned.
I agree it can be confusing; that's why this has been asked many times on this forum. The answer is still the same....
However, I would still ask what point the column titled "Cabin Class" serves in the Airline Earning Table? Or, more specifically, why is there any need at all to distinguish between "Discount Economy" and "Economy" in that Table, if not for Status Credit earn purposes?
