When you fly for free using miles, do you earn miles?

When you fly for free using miles, do you earn miles? - Thank You Signage

Two questions:

  • If I "buy" a flight using miles, will I earn miles on that flight? In my case, I'd be using American Airlines miles to buy an American Airlines flight.

  • What about if I use American Airlines miles to "buy" a flight on some other oneworld carrier, like Japan Air Lines? Will I earn JAL miles or AA miles?
